I'm ready and willing to look for signals. Last season was so >sucessful on 136 I hope it can repeated on 73KHz. Just let me know >when the beacons will be on. 73, Jon W1JHJ Plymouth, MA And since I'
Laurie, Sorry I missed your 17:46 message yesterday. I did beacon last night on the 71,921.5 freq. Nothing seen. Noise levels were better, but there is a strong station centered about 71.86 kHz, occu
Image captured with Argo at 16.24 UTC using 3 second dots on a frequency just below 136.5 kHz. Any guesses? A highly compressed crop circle? John, W1TAG
Laurie, Since conditions may be improving I will run the Beacon tonight. Frequency as usual 71.921.5kHz. Starting 2200 utc. Any report welcome. Extremely noisy here last night due to wx. Things are e
Dave, This morning I heard an unmodulated carrier around 137.0 which may mean the return of CFH. I didn't listen until around 0630z however, by which time it was well down the dawn fade. Can Larry or
Laurie, John thanks for listening, which way should I move to clear your interfering signal? 73s Laurie. You can't move far enough! There is a signal within my receiver's 500 Hz passband that is pump
Laurie, Listened for 2 hours starting at 2300, but no luck. This frequency is right on the edge of another signal that's driving my receiver crazy. I think it's time to spring for the 250 Hz filter.
Alex, Personally, I'd leave it alone, unless you were really limited with your receiving antenna. I use a loop for LF receiving, and a 30 dB preamp. I leave the R-75 internal preamps off, as they pic
I started pondering ways to make useful measurements of 70-75 kHz commercial signals coming from across the pond. My receiver has a useless S-meter, so we'll skip that approach. Here's one possibilit
Johan, John, et al.: Hi, Johan. Just for sake of historical accuracy, it was John Andrews, W1TAG, who suggested it on 13 November. Les and I can only take credit for recognizing a good idea and "borr
John, That is it! Your picture shows exactly what I see on 73.3kHz. It is not RTTY but 100Hz wide FSK centred on 73.25. You evidently have a very good antenna for this direction. I would very much ap
Laurie, Jim: Nothing seen on 72 kHz last night. It was a bit stormy in this area, and the noise levels were up. However, no fragments of your signals could be seen, indicating that propagation may ha
Jim, Re: 73kHz - I note there has been another almost X-class flare today, however the geomagnetic storm seems to have died down, and Alan has convinced me that propagation will definitely be marvell
I need to do some more detective work, but I have a strong signal here in Massachusetts, from 73.2 to 73.3 kHz. There have been listings of CFH on 73.6, but perhaps they have moved down to 73.25. In
Well, I guess it had to end. Absolutely nothing was visible from Laurie or Jim on 72 kHz last night. I kept the screen on 120 sec dots, which precluded being able to see Peter. A CME is due to arrive
Jim & Laurie, I will have my gear running and recording by 2230, but won't be able to provide any reports until at least 0130, as I will be socially occupied (per my wife's very insistent instruction
Rik, Laurie, et al, Things eventually did improve last night. This was recorded from 0430 - 0545 UTC: Argo was set for 120 sec dots, and as with the previous evening, there was some difficulty in sep
At 0100, still no sign of any signals. The static crashes are quite loud, and are wiping out the Loran lines. The only T-storm activity appears to be over 1600 miles away, but in a direct line off th
About an hour ago (2240), I had clearly received a "G" and part of a "3" on Laurie's frequency. The signal disappeared, and I've seen nothing since. Interesting. John Andrews, W1TAG
