Hello LF! 1900z: Just following a long QSO on 501.3kHz between GI4DPE and G3DXZ that started 1848z right after GI4DPE went from initial call mode to CQ mode. GI4DPE has been Q4-Q5 and G3DXZ a solid Q
Hello LF No copy of SK6RUD here yet, but heard it a couple of nights at low power around 2200UTC at the end of August. Mal & others hearing SK6RUD on 500kHz, please make an entry in the on-line log h
Hello LF 21.50UTC: Just received "G4WGT IO83QP" in QRSS1 around 503.5kHz, well audible and signal enough for normal CW. Unfortunately the screencapture in Argo fails despite many attempts. The waterf
Thank you Jim for this most interesting brief explanation! I say brief, because I have developed a vague feeling over the years for how long it would have to be to cover every aspect we face just in
Hello Lubos, LF 2110UTC: Good signals from OK0EMW tonight, receiving the CW in "armchair" QSO quality. DI2AM and SK6RUD very strong as usual. 73's Paul-Henrik / OH1LSQ Vaasa / KP03SD
Hello LF 1925UTC: Just followed a QSO between G3DXZ and G3XIZ on 502.0/502.3kHz. G3DXZ was a Q3 to Q5 and G3XIZ somewhat stronger at a steady Q5. Signal transfer was not optimal as my Inverted-L ante
Hello LF 2040UTC I hear M0FMT IO91UX in CW + QRSS on 502.2kHz, first copy! 1786km GM4SLV is also audible on 501.5kHz with a better signal than recent nights. 73's Paul-Henrik / OH1LSQ Vaasa / KP03SD
Hello LF Just received a QSO between GW3UEP and G3XPU on 502.1kHz Both stations were copied here for the first time. Deep QSB on both stations with signals from Q1 to Q5. QSB timing was different bet
Hello Mal: With all respect: Do we really need another amateur band where experimentation with low power and mariginal antennas is completely out of question because the band is full of kW-stations t
I forgot to mention one important thing in my last reply: and T200-2 cores were suggested as alternatives to the 3C85/3C90. The mixes #2 and #3 are powder iron, not ferrite as the 3F3 and 3C85/3C90.
Hello! Have a look at Ferroxcube (Philips) cores of 3F3 material. As far as I can interpret datasheets for these, they should work fairly well as transformers up to 500kHz with a DC component and up
Hello LF! Just hearing GM4SLV join the QSO party on 502.1kHz with a Q3 to Q5 signal. Right after G3KEV is sending QRZ? and CQ on 502.6kHz with a Q5+ signal. This is starting to sound like a real band
Hello LF! Receiving YO2X on 505.8kHz here for the first time 1740UTC. Transmission is CW/QRSS with the CW audible RST 319 with msg "YO2X KN05PS" See attached picture for Argo screencapture. My congra
Hello Jim, LF Thanks for the update and information. I have one question on your comments: Are you saying you can/could actually copy my CW-ident by ear? That would open yet another dimesion. So far
