Hi Markus Wonderful suggestion! Now would make a wonderful time to make the transition in data capture as the window between VE7 and EU closes for the season. I will investigate and post when the cha
Hi Mike and Group I very much appreciate the suggestions of QSYing the EU DX window but that appears rather aggressive to deal with my RX limitations and would involve many others having to change th
Hi Mike If you or anyone can assist me in getting the equipment or expertise to get this setup I can commit to have it operational from a low noise site for the next DX season. I just welcomed my fir
Hi All Thanks to Laurence KL1X, Mark KU7Z and Jack VE7JX for their reports of last nights activity. Seems I'm getting out well within NA. I was running with 400W and even with high wind and rain the
Hi Joe When did this QSO occur? 73 Scott Congrats to JA7NI and to Scott for receiving him and also transmitting again on 2200m in VE7 land. For fun XYL VO1RL and I also had a CW QSO on 137 kHz... onl
Hi Alan I was just thinking about you and this popped up! I hope you start a regular forecast service again. Thanks for the information and well wishes it is greatly appreciated. 73 Scott Alan Melia
Hey Mal I hear the Alpha signals here in Western NA all day every day when they are active. Usually about 20db over the noise. Always audible on a very small active loop (ie. if they where a CW stati

Mal Nicely rationalized. 73 Scott Actually Mal he does use a loop on 160m. http://tgc.jp-au.net/tazawako_ja7ni.htm "To talk much and arrive nowhere is the same as climbing a tree to catch a fish." 73
Hi All After a few month break the JA/VE7 window is once again open. JA7NI was copied this morning at sunrise once the terminator cut off the T-storm noise to the east. JA7NI appears to have made upg

HI Warren and group Here's what JA7NI looked like here last night. The attachment gives you a good idea of the BW he's using and his QRG. Freq calibration is within a .01Hz... Have a look at the 153K
Hi Gary He can be found around 137778 +/- 1Hz. He's normally on during my sunrise. 73 Scott What frequency does JA7NI operate on please. I am setting up a 2200m Rx system employing a G0MRF low noise
I just witnessed the switch off of the Canadian Loran C system. As of about 0500 UTC the last remaining loran line disappeared from the grabber. http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/eng/CCG/Home 73 Scott VE7TIL
Thanks Bill ! Last night was kinda exciting here. Had a 'fire' in the tuner as the weak link capacitor let go just before sunset. A quick junk box search revealed a viable solution for now and I was

Opps! I guess I should read the mail more carefully... I was happy my 100 watts and poor antenna did ... to bad it wasn't all the way to VK !!! ;-) ;-) 73 John / VE7BDQ CN89LA
