From HB9ASB, JN36pt Here I've still troubles with my PC (seems to be a Monday device), so I'm back to the most reliable mode and only qrv in normal CW. But with a little bit more power from a new TX.
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Last night I had QSO in normal CW with I5MXX (JN53ju) and IK5ZPV (JN53KX). Both signals were strong (579) but suffered from heavy QSB, a phenomena which I have also with Marco's s
from HB9ASB Hello Bob, I'm using a helical vertical for more than a year and it works fine. The lower part (7m) is a PVC irrigation pipe (11cm Diameter) the upper part a Kevlar fishing pole (8m). I'v
From HB9ASB, JN36pt The signal from G3LDO was very good on 72.300 yesterday evening and we had a nice Xband (73/136) QSO. If somebody else would like to try it, please contact me. A good time seems t
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Hello Peter and the Group I'm really amazed how good the helical works on 73kHz. I've tried also two other antennas while Peter, G3LDO, called me. The first is a tuned loop nailed
from HB9ASB Sorry for the virus I've sent yesterday to the group. I was not aware that also this PC was infected. Do not execute happy99.exe, just trash it! 73 de Toni ** WARNING ** WARNING ** WARNIN
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Today I've made some comparisons of different Audio-filter settings and CW against Slow CW. All test were made blind and under real band-noise conditions with the main receiving a
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Here some additional remarks concerning the tests: - The term "blind" means that the Test-TX was sending automatically and I did not know its text in advance. - When testing with
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Somehow my last e-mail to this reflector got lost, so here again some explanations: In the meantime I've repeated the tests with two other receivers (Watkins-Johnson WJ8888 and Ic
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Now the band gets also busy here in Central Europe. Last weekend I've heard 17 different callsigns and sometimes it sounded like a "dialogue des sourdes": Strong signals but they
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Sorry OM, our Slow CW QSO today is not valid - I could not get your report. Another station called CQ exactly on our QRG in the middle of the QSO. We will try it again, 73 de Toni
Further I noticed the attempt of a station to get in the the 'Guinness Book of Records' for the longest CQ call ever (non-stop over 20 minutes) ... Sorry friends, I forgot my running TX while I was b
From HB9ASB, JN36pt With increasing summer QRN I'm less QRV (except for early morning skeds on weekends) and more outside for new LF antenna tests. Regarding these tests I've two questions. 1. I woul
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Nice Signal from you, Mike. I could copy your slow CW signal by ear! It is stronger than ever before. 73 de Toni Mike Dennison schrieb: Yes, Wolf, I did call and have called many
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Good condx this weekend. Almost no QRN and a lot of activity. PA0SE had a nice 559 down here. Also good signals from G4GVC, OK1FIR (SlowCW), DJ1ZB, IK5ZPV, HB9DCE, DL9EM, G3XDV an
From HB9ASB, JN36pt I think our LF-Band is to narrow to waste some space at the edges or to reserve band space for future modes. For a well equipped station it is absolutely no problem to operate 5 H
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Hello Petr, many thanks for the nice Slow CW QSO. Excellent for your 50W and detuned antenna! Your signal was at the limit (stronger at the beginning, weaker at the end) but clear
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Wish I could "wash" my ground rods down, as you do it in the flat land: after 30-50cm I'm on solid rock! And unfortunately I'm not a drilling Engineer. My antenna is also surround
