Rik, if you want to use 4000 series logic in fast speed applciactions it can be used at 15V. This will increase the speed by a factor 3..4 compared to 5V. Agreed. But I would not have been able to us
J - Bill Bowers has spent a lot of time evaluating coil construction techniques. I don't know if any of his articles from The Lowdown are available on-line. If not, they should be! From memory, here
Peter, An article called Low Frequency Coil Q, by Bill Bowers, is reproduced in the Low Frequency Experimenter's Handbook, Page 65 That's probably where I saw it, as I didn't belong to the LWCA back
Ko, Have a look at: http://www.singlechips.com/index.html Looks like a website for Adam Giannopoulos in Ontario, CA. He has reported reception of WD2XES several times. I don't think that Argo is a pr
J- Also, I am thinking of setting my beacon work initially near 137777, or 137779, Please advise me on the best frequency to start working with. With only 200 Watts, I am planning to use QRSS60. VO1N
Dave, Big mess in the middle of the band tonight. I assume that's CFH loud, proud and wide? YES, THAT'S CFH. Errrr.... sorry. I have to yell to be heard over the racket. John Andrews, W1TAG
Well, some things keep working, anyway. Here's a shot of WD2XGJ and WD2XES taken at CT1DRP's sunrise this morning: As we've observed before, Brian's more southerly location seems to do better when co
Incomplete captures from CT1DRP last night show some faint but complete ID's from WD2XGJ and WD2XES around 0530, and an incomplete WD2XDW ID around 0330. Unfortunately, "my captures of his captures"
WD2XES will be running in Jason Slow mode tonight on 137.779 kHz. Reports are welcome. John Andrews, W1TAG/WD2XES FN42ch WD2XES Status: http://www.w1tag.com
Conditions did seem to die overnight. I saw some pieces of XES, XGJ and XDW before 0200, but nothing after that. The solar wind speed had been picking up since before 0000, and things seemed to drop
Mike, How does 185.3kc look in Europe? Any good frequencies around that? How about 185.3026kc? I can put a healthy signal right there.< There is a very large BC station on 183 kHz (2 megawatts), so d
I don't know how long this will last, but if you want to see how lovely the LF noise can be in Germany, check out Markus' screen grabber: http://members.aol.com/DF6NM/Grabber.htm John A.
Gary, Thanks for your advice, I will move shortly to about 135,923.5 Is there a grabber in Europe showing this frequency? Anybody regularly watching that frequency range would have their stuff set fo
WD2XGJ and WD2XES looked very good on G3YXM's screen from 0200 to 0300 UTC. The highlight, though, was a capture from Ed Lesnichy, RU6LA, taken at 0400 UTC just before RU6 sunrise: http://www.w1tag.c
