I'm back from a business trip -- If anyone would like a WD2XES WOLF test signal tonight, I'd be happy to oblige. If wanted, lower power operation is easy, as the amp has a volume control! Tnx to Hart
WD2XES will run in WOLF mode tonight on 137.441 kHz. Power will be 6 dB lower than usual, 50 vs. 200 watts. It should be on the air by 2200 UTC. John Andrews, W1TAG/WD2XES
Wolf, The new version is also running fine here, though local copy is hardly a challenge. I was hoping that you would add the auto re-sync option for the guys who like to sleep at night. Do not apolo
Markus, I think WOLF may have some real potential on that long path when the bit rate is slowed down and the sync issue resolved by 1 pps ticks, or whatever. Of course, the throughput will suffer a b
Markus, your "howling" was received and decoded successfully last night for a short period around 03:58 UT:< Congratulations! Looking at the file you sent, I think that the audio level should have be
Markus, et al, Jim's comments are absolutely true, but there is one more grain of information needed for transmitting! You must establish a separate sampling rate on the transmit side. A starting poi
Hartmut, I'm interested. The usual frequency? Yes, it seems to be pretty good on both sides. 137.441 kHz, 15 watt WOLF, starting around 2230 UTC. My local sunset is now at 2340 UTC. John Andrews
Markus, Thanks for trying for the WOLF copy last night. Alan appears to have won the 15 watt prize, unless Hartmut manages to extract something from the noise! Given the vagaries of fading, and the e
Should you have a hankering to try transmitting WOLF on a TA path I can keep an eye open on this side. And my shack needs to be cooled off, too, so I'd be happy to listen for any TA WOLF activity. Jo
Dave, I'm willing to give it a try. What frequency would be good for you? The 137.441 kHz frequency has generally worked well on both sides, though I chose it more for EU than North American reasons.
Upon further reflection, it would make sense to move the EU to NA WOLF transmissions down to the lower end of the band. With NA transmitting activity at the high end, this should help with receiving
Dave, Is there a lower slot? I don't want to annoy all those nocturnal CW operators... Well, we certainly wouldn't want to annoy all of those guys, would we? A quick search doesn't turn up anything i
