For those who may be newer to this part of our hobby, Hartmut Wolff is somewhat of a legend in receiving TA signals in the 137 kHz band. Night after night while others could only see Loran lines and
Andy, It's still alive, but infrequently used. DL4YHF did a GUI version of the original command-line program. It can be found at: http://www.qsl.net/d/dl4yhf/wolf/index.html I just spent an afternoon
I'll be running WOLF(10) on 137.350 kHz tonight, starting at 2200Z, and running until about 0330Z. Have to run the power down a bit for continuous beaconing. TA propagation might work, but I wouldn't
Michel, That's very nice! Correct copy in 15 to 18 minutes, with signal lock-on much earlier. Both of those runs show textbook build-up of signal -- obviously the sampling rate is well defined. Thank
Thanks to Michel and J.B. for the WOLF reports from last night, and to Steve and others for trying. While the propagation conditions may be slipping, I will run WOLF(10) again tonight on 137.35 kHz,
Hartmut, Well, it locked on at 16 minutes, but took a while to decode. Probably explained by fading. Very nice job, under only fair conditions. Thanks! John, W1TAG here is a decoding of the XES WINTE
The TA path may have improved a bit, so I will run a WOLF session again tonight on 137.350 kHz, from 2200 to 0330Z with normal power. A QRP session worked pretty well in the eastern US/Canada last ni
Mike, Yes, you were there! Had bits and pieces of your signal starting with the 0300 ID - caught the "V". Then the 0400 ID was almost complete, excepting only the "V". See below: John Andrews, W1TAG
Andy, WOLF interleaving hasn't changed since the very beginning. Markus has pointed out the source code location -- Wolf Buscher's GUI is a wrap-around for the core code created by Stewart Nelson. As
Paul, The VE7QZZ spot is probably not real, as it was not reported by anyone on this side of the pond. The WG2XXM spots are good, and congratulations are in order. John, W1TAG 2016-02-15 19:04 VE7QZZ
Mike, Some hints here as well, but nothing identifiable. John, W1TAG Just a slight smudge seen around 0230 last night. Nothing seen on DF6NM QRG. 73 Joe VO1NA
Andy's planning to run until 2300 UTC. I will put WD2XES on the same frequency (137.630 kHz) at that time, and run WOLF until around 0330 UTC. TA propagation should be pretty good at this point, due
I'll lump this all into one email, rather than clutter up the list... Nice responses to last night's WOLF run! The WD2XES signal was on from 2302 to 0345 UTC. The transmitter was running 450 watts ou
Andy, Will be watching! John, W1TAG Not entirely sure how long I'll run it for - certainly not overnight. I don't think that PA has ever been used in anger - until now 137630Hz Wolf-10 Andy G4JNT
Andy, Hartmut, Steve, Thanks for the nice reports from last night, and for Andy's hand-off after 0H. Again, there was also a successful report from Joe, DF2JP on the Lowfer reflector, along with some
Andy, We haven't yet investigated the slower speeds available in /WolfGUI/, the half and quarter speed options. Thoughts ? I spent quite a bit of time with this after DL4YHF provided the slower speed
Since there continues to be some interest, WD2XES will run in WOLF mode tonight, on 137.360 kHz from 2300 until 0345Z. Standard 10bps mode, despite the earlier discussion. John, W1TAG/WD2XES FN42ch
