Nice to hear plenty of activity on 136 this week end. In a couple of hours total of casual listening heard DF6NM, DJ8WX, DK7SU, F6BWO, PA0KDM, PA0BWL, G3GRO and worked MB2HFC, G3XDV. My 1100 ft long

Colin Don't think you are hearing us down here in the depths of Devon. You were CQing away while I was in QSO with Peter 'JFS! 161 Tom -- Original Message -- From: [email protected][email protected] To: rsg
Thanks Dave. All reports gratefully received. 9 watts and a sloping piece of wire from shack to tree so definitely not optimum arrangement yet! 73 Tom -- Original Message -- From: daveyxm@googlemail.

Thanks Dave - 10 watts into a 140' sloper with a poor ground. I can't play your recordings - I get the message ' Windows Media Player cannot play the file'. Any clues? G3JFS has also been testing thi
The way I look at it Andy, is that the coax fed dipole is an un-balanced system, so I had two antennas in parallel, each resonant on a slightly different frequency. I bet if I had used twin balanced
Warren I also had a strange effect when strapping a coax fed 80m dipole at ground level for use as a 160m 'TEE'. It appeared to show 2 resonant frequencies a few Khz apart. When I strapped the feeder
Mike Not sure what happened tonight but I called you after finishing with Chris G3XIZ. I guess you were not hearing Chris. I would give you an uncalibrated 589 on audio. Hope to work you properly som

Alan G3XAQ and Jim M0BMU both 559 on 502 KHz in E. Devon at 1805Z. 73 Tom G3OLB The QRN is low here today. I will be calling CQ on 502.0 from 18:00Z (7pm UK) this evening. -- Cheers, Alan G3XAQ alan@
Dave I have had ADSL filters and modems fail. Even a passive device will fail given a high enough level of static build-up on the lines - I guess it's a capacitor breaking down. After my third modem
Dave Was that you calling 'KEV last evening? Somebody weak and I thought I heard your call-sign (which I could never do on 136!) 73 Tom G3OLB In view of the fact that I seem to be hearing stations ma
Thanks Dave, Rog & Mike, I have a full quarter wave inverted L, 80' vertical and 420' horizontal. Currently beaconing on about 502Kc/s. Any reports gratefully received! 73 Tom G3OLB Tom, Fantastic si
Afraid I agree with Roger - it hardly qualifies as a 'band' anyway! Beacons are useful when the frequency is sparsely populated as it is currently. At evenings/week ends, let's just be aware that the
