From HB9ASB, JN36pt Hello John, I'm still testing the new 5.08 Version. At a first glance it seems that I can still read slow CW when this is not possible on the old version (4.2.6.5)! I'm using the
From HB9ASB, JN36pt I've never seen a response to Marcos query about the signal on 1025 Hz. Here a possible explanation: Of course I can see and hear the signal, like many others in the VLF/ULF range
Hello Mike, how about a cross band QSO 73/136 in Slow CW. 73 de Toni, HB9ASB Mike Dennison schrieb: I have set my station up on the 73kHz band again and am looking for skeds. I can use conventional o
In case of difficulties purchasing Philips toroids you may use Siemens N30 cores as an alternative (I'm using a 58mm Core in my 500W LF PA). In Germany you can get them from Schuricht. 73 de Toni, HB
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Today I heard G3KAU with 599, one of the strongest signals ever received from UK (G3YXM was 579 today). Also good signals from DF2BC/p (579) and DL3FDO (589) plus many others. Som
from HB9ASB, JN36pt The WX was to nice to spend much time in the shack. But QRN was low and QRM (as most of the time at this location) non-existent. Sunday morning I heard the following stations in n
From HB9ASB, JN36pt DL3FDO has also a good signal down here but I've abandoned calling him, he suffers probably from heavy QRM from nearby commercial stations and is virtually deaf. Actually I'm runn
From HB9ASB, JN36pt I've also tried the AOR 7030 and it is - from the performance side - a very good receiver (I would never buy it because of the design and operation concept). But a 500Hz filter is
Hello Alan, for LF I'm using a commercial US-rig, the Harris RF590. I like it because of it's extremely high frequency stability, high immunity against strong signals (IMD), the 1Hz read out and the
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Ah, the key words here are "grey matter". The DSP in the brain is far superior to anything you can get from MFJ, but only for certain things. Certainly, the theoretical advantage
From HB9ASB, JN36PT Another one for the list: ICOM IC765: on 136 kHz as good as commercial LF receivers after removing the internal LF attenuator! Very good selection with cascaded 250 Hz filters. Ca
From HB9ASB/p, JN36XC Friday evening, after a good start at 17:30 UT, our slow CW QSO failed. The signal of GB4RS disappeared in the middle of his call. Does anybody know what happened? 73 de Toni
From HB9ASB/p, Saas Fee, JN36XC Hi friends, I'm just back from the Swiss Alpine LF meeting and we decided the following band plan for the rest of Europe (except for Switzerland since we are not in th
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Vy good condx last night: high signal levels - low noise, but some QSB. Had a CW QSO with a new station from Italy: I5BQL. Otherwise not much activity to see on the band the past
From HB9ASB, JN36pt This was not me, but I am QRV in QRS. 73 de Toni Sat 20th Nov. I did catch a snatch of a call "S9AST " just prior to one of Mike's cqs which I take to be someone calling HB9AST pr
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Hallo Heinz, vielen Dank für das "Lebenszeichen" aus Österreich. Bisher habe ich Euch leider noch nicht hören können. Mein QTH befindet sich in der Westschweiz in der Nähe von Fri
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Unfortunately I lost my LF-antenna in the storm and it is not to repair. May be I will come back one day in the next millennium. In the meantime I wish you all a happy new year an
Hello friends, and thanks for all the e-mail. Yesterday I have tested a replacement for my LF antenna and had two nice QSO's with G3LDO and DL1SAN. I don't know if the thing I'm using can be called a
From HB9ASB, JN36pt I could observe a faint signal on 72,262 on Spectogram during this time. Have you been QRV and what was the exact frequency? Down here I have no QRM from Rugby. 73 de Toni Dear LF
From HB9ASB, JN36pt Regarding antennas, I also think that in general "bigger is better". But is there much difference in take off angle (at 136kHz) between a 20m and a 40m tower? May be we should not
