When I decoded 2E0ILY a full 30 minutes before sunset I thought it was going to be a remarkable night. It was not. I decoded Chris a few more times early on, and was decoded twice by G0LUJ. 137.550 h
Hi Chris, I don't have any suggestions. With WSPR, Opera and EbNaut sharing the same small band segment, things are a bit tight if you ask me. But I don't live in Europe with the likes of DCF39 to co
Indeed. It failed to consider how hard it is to defeat BUGs. :-) AUI? Sometimes I think these interference sources are driven by artificial intelligence and on a seek-and-destroy mission, but it's pr
I think with solar minimum conditions have improved. I am hearing stations at great distance who have been active all along, but only recently have I been hearing them. For example, VK4YB at 15819 km
I have insufficient personal experience with 475/137 kHz to know for sure... With a few solar cycles of experience at 1.8 MHz I can say for sure propagation is **MUCH** better at solar minimum, espec
Hi Joe, I wish I could listen for your CW but I have shut down operations for the night. We have high winds and power interruptions were causing reboots of the computer that hosts the SDRs for LF and
Hi Alan, That is an interesting comment. In my years DXing on 1.8 MHz I notice something similar. Quite consistently when Kp is very low for several days, propagation becomes poor (with the possible
Likewise for me, Mike. I do know that in 1.9 the improvements were mainly at LF and MF, by taking advantage of the phase stability of signals at these frequencies. My tests showed more advantage at
Hi Joe, Sorry about the coil heating difficulties. Is this something new? I need to investigate my system for heating. I see a small but consistent change in apparent antenna system resistance during
There was a some improvement last night following onset of a geomagnetic disturbance. MF did not seem measurably better except for DK7FC peaking a few dB better S/N compared to previous nights, but L
Hi LF, I am trying to set up two SpecLab instances as grabbers to monitor the EU and NA LF QRSS windows, but I am having some problems with FTP upload. Either SpecLab instance works fine by itself, c
Hi Markus, Thank you! I will try the simple solution tonight. If necessary I will use the timer. I didn't quite understand all that from the SpecLab help but you have explained it very clearly and si
Hello Wolf, Thanks for the reply. I am a novice, but I really like Spectrum Lab! Sometimes (often) I get lost reading the help. It is very well written but there is so much capability I don't always
Hi LF artists, I invite you to try painting something on my new grabbers. I hope to have these running all the time, monitoring the EU and NA LF QRSS windows. The grabbers are located at my home stat
I will read again the help but so far I didn't figure out if I can do this... I would like to upload for example lf2.jpg via FTP every 5 or 10 minutes, but I would like to save a local archive copy o
Hi Stefan, LF, Too for for me on JT9 but I will be happy to do a DFCW QSO later. :-) I have a bit of work to do but soon I will be ready for CW, JT9, DFCW (and as a last resort QRSS) again. I do have
Very good! I hope it will be possible to see these signals on my side! If I see either of them starting to come in while I am awake, I will pause my transmissions and try to get a full call sign copy
Hello Rik, I am very interested in this! Thank you very much for your work! Tomorrow I will download the program. I think we badly need these slow modes for the average LF operators (which is most of
Hi Rik, I do not know the symbol lengths for JT9 slow and I do not know how it compares to WSPR about frequency stability requirements. gets across the pond when WSPR2 cannot. Clearly for WSPR mode,
I did not see either of the Italians on QRSS. I received only 3 TA WSPR spots from EB8ARZ/2. This is below average for the past couple of weeks. Keep the QRSS activity coming! Better conditions will
