Hi all, I checked overnight with 60 second dot length, and did get a signal on 138.83 kHz, but it seems not as good as Mike ZL4OL reports (he is about 550 km SW of me). Signals were first detected at
Hi all, See below a pic of what I captured on 138.83 kHz with 60 second dot length last night. I'll try with 10 second dot length tonight. 73, Bob ZL2CA JPEG image
Hi all, A signal on 138.83 kHz got stronger approaching ZL sunrise. A weak trace started from about 1715 UTC. See the 1854 UTC capture (which includes scales and time) for 10 second dot length. It lo
Sam RN6BN, I am pleased to report that I got O copy of all of your call sign, in the period before ZL sunrise. Argo captures have RN abd the start of the 6 in the first graphic, and I'll send as a se
Sam, OK on all comments. From Rik's message, a distance of 16464 km is further than VE1ZJ receiving the ZL6QH beacon (15645 km). 73, Bob Hello Bob! Very very TNX for nice report. Always ready experie
Sam, My frequency calibration (TS-850 with very good VCTCXO) is for Argo 803 Hz corresponding to 137.703 kHz, and should be better than 0.1 Hz. 73, Bob
Sam, OK. I'll continue to look for your beacon. Also I expect Andrew ZL2BBJ and Mike ZL4OL to be trying. Will it be QRSS60 each night? 73, Bob Yes, Bob, my TRX Yaesu FT-990 is not calibrated. +- ? Hz
Ed RU6LA, My home station receiving setup is an active antenna feeding a TS-850 and Argo looking at the audio. The active antenna is a 10 metre insulated pipe guyed in a tree in the rear corner of my
Sam RN6BN, Last night was not so productive, only a trace received in a capture at 1636 UTC. Nil in all other captures. Commenting on QRSS vs DFCW, for beaconing the main benefit of DFCW is that it h
Brian CT1DRP, Bob, my system is fired up to transmit, what frequency is available, I don't want to double? I am clear of QRM around 137.700 kHz, so I suggest you go just higher in frequency. 73, Bob
Brian, I'll be listening out over 0600 UTC (9 hours away). 73, Bob Bob, I have just powered up the transmitter on 137703, DFCW 120s +/- 0.1, transmitting my callsign. I think we have a very short com
Sam RN6BN, This morning I got some copy, but not a full call sign. The attached pic was captured at 1719 UTC. The following capture had fades. No other signal seen around 137.703 kHz. 73, Bob ZL2CA
Sam RN6BN, I'm not sure what happened to my earlier messages, but in summary your DFCW120 beacon last night had M copy with each of ZL2CA and ZL2BBJ. 73, Bob ZL2CA
Sam, Yes, continue with DFCW120. Also Brian, or anyone else, could nestle into the 137.703 kHz zone, within a Hz or so, but with none being co-incident in frequency, and if any ZL receiver gets a mes
