Mike, The XDW staircase was good copy again tonight approaching Laurence's sunrise. What other NA signals are transmitting these days? WD2XGJ is sending "XGJ" in QRSS60 on 137.7796. WD2XES is sending
J.B., They each had five "steps" between roughly 775.6 to 776.6 which repeated over and over. Each step was about 45 seconds long. What is it? WD2XDW. John Andrews, W1TAG
Laurie, Conditions continue good so I will QSY reception to Lawrence's frquency tonight. An Argo 30 second slow screen would do a good job with all of the available signals. John Andrews
Hartmut, Laurie, Warren, Again, thanks for the reports. Some screen captures from CT1DRP also show better copy than the previous two nights. XES didn't do as well as XGJ there, and Brian did get one
Oops. I threw the switch instead of pushing the button! Time to start labeling things around here, I guess. Tnx to Hartmut, Markus and Laurie for the "dead carrier" reports. Will be back (with keying
Tnx to Hartmut and Laurie for the nice captures. I'll have XES on the air by 0100 on 137.779 this week, weather permitting. We have a forecast of thunderstorms for the next few days, so there may be
J.B., Where should I be looking on the band to see if I can capture any of you European stations?< The best place to look is 135.922 kHz, with a 30 second (slow) or 60 second screen. The best time to
WD2XES will be running in JASON Slow mode with 200 watts on 137.779 kHz for a few nights, starting around 0000 UTC each night. John Andrews, W1TAG/WD2XES
Peter, I am giving up LF transmitting because of other work in amateur radio. I'm sorry to hear of it, and will miss that strong signal. John Andrews, W1TAG
Hi Dave, Thanks for the capture. I take it thats XGJ? The frequency looks to be close - XGJ is at 137.7796. What is your receive setup? -- 73 Warren K2ORS/WD2XGJ FN42hi -- 73 Warren K2ORS/WD2XGJ FN4
Laurie, One other that I do have here -- it's the reverse direction, but it does show four North American stations as received at CT1DRP: http://www.w1tag.com/files/4_by_DRP.jpg John Andrews
Laurie, I am looking for an ARGO image which was on this reflector some years ago. It showed about 8 stations on a single QRSS screen,including G3AQC, we were all attempting a Trans-atlantic crossing
Andy, Yes please, if you could send the screen dumps and info to my work email address (its faster) -- [email protected] Will do, hopefully tonight. I'm surprised that you say the improvement with
Andy, Bill de Carle produced a version of Africam that allowed GPS sync. As I recall, we thoroughly tested it in early 2004 with signalling rates as slow as MS2000 (0.5 b/s). At the lower data rates,
Hartmut, Thanks for the WOLF report -- that copy was better than I would have expected. I will be on that frequency with WOLF for the next few nights. John Andrews
Correction to my earlier post: My WOLF recording showed the effect around 1730 UTC. There appears to be a 1-hour discrepency between the computer clock and the WOLF time stamp. John Andrews
The sun just produced a flare rated at "X13+" according to the NASA site. The time was given as 1740 UTC. According to my daytime WOLF output from WD2XDW (2150 km), the signal took a huge jump around
Jeff, Here are some Loran line frequencies that might be of help: 135918.122 (Sylt) 135923.340 (Lessay) 135924.790 (Sylt) 137778.370 (Sylt) 137780.419 (Lessay) John Andrews, W1TAG
