Hello John, thanks for the QSO. Due to rather strong QRN copy was only Q4. But I was happy to notice any activity on 500kc at last. Apart from the beacons there seems to be almost no activity. Your g
Pete, this spring I started on 500kHz with a 9m high / 25m long lazy-L antenna and 100W TX power (abt 300mW ERP). I worked GM4SLV (Shetland Islands) at over 1000km and was heard in OH at 1600km. So i
Scott, The noise is only there AFTER I connect the antenna. So it has something to do with the mains AC, coax run and the antenna... if I recapitulate right, the noise is there when you: 1. power the
Dear group, I just worked SM6BHZ as a new one on 500 kHz. Reports 589 / 559. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm
For those looking for a new challenge on 137kHz: Low Frequency band for VK Australia is set to join the 30-odd countries whose radio amateurs have been already given the new low frequency amateur ban
Hi Pete, what power / ERP were you running ? When conditions are good (good propagation, low QRN) 10mW ERP should be enough for a basic CW QSO. Yesterday a QRSS QSO was possible, your signal was a so
the mistery signal is weak but audible here (21:20 UT) 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T That would make Scandinavia a likely location, perhaps? Ot maybe Iceland (joke) Iceland would be good, or Faroe. I think fr
Graham, not bad at all for 5 Watt output. A pity that QRN is rather bad tonight, at low QRN a QSO should be possible. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Hi .. well I have just been calling cq on 502 and 503 .. usi

Paul-Henrik, very interesting, as my signal was weaker than normal on the XYM grabber 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Hello Rik, LF 1933UTC: I hear OR7T calling CQ on 502.3kHz. Strong Q5 signal. 73's Paul-Henri

Hello Joerg & group, I just worked him. Name is Marcel and QTH Namur (JO20KL). He was 579/589 here. Rig: 50W into 50m LW. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Quoting [email protected]: Hi all, rd 20/10/08 2045z 501,919k
Hello group, I just had a QRSS QSO with G4WGT, my first on 500kHz. Gary's signal was clearly audible (CW was possible). To keep it "QRSS worthy" I reduced the power to 15W (abt. 100mW ERP). During th
Dear group, a lot of QRSS activity tonight. And remarkable little QSB. I took the opportunity to measure some (relative) signal strengths: SK6RUD (500.0) : -11dB G3? (501.1) : -4dB GI4DPI (501.3) : 0
Hello Jörg, I can hear ADR and a lot of other European NDB's almost every night, using my 500kHz antenna (11m high and 22m long inv-L). Roelof, PA0RDT, told me that most of these NDB's have an ERP of
Gary, I was very busy this night and will be the next nights, I will try during the weekend 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Hi All, Tried a few QRSS03 CQ calls tonight from 1855 to 2000utc but no replies. I wil
Jay, I am interested to give it a try. What date/time did you work Finbar last year ? And what ERP are you running. My ERP is abt 3 W. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Quoting [email protected]: Victor Thank
Andrey, thanks for the new grabber. WX is to bad to transmit tonight but I will "test" your grabber one of the next nights. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T Hello LF'ers. The equipment for the grabber is an Dege
Hi Graham, right now your signal coming up, weak but audible with CW filter. As I just downloaded & installed WSRP I followed the instructions that say receiver in USB at -1500Hz of the desired RX fr
One or more USA (east coast) grabbers covering 201-504kHz would also be interesting. Any takers ? 73, Rik ON7YD Hello Gary, It would be very nice to have a US band 600 meter grabber over on your side
