Hello LFers, On 31 December 2005 I had a confirmed Argo capture of CT1DRP, not bad considering that I'm inland from the east coast about 500 miles or so. Antenna used was a 10 foot "VE7SL" loop with

Hi Scott, LFers, At midnight eastern time Aug. 28/29 no trace of your signal on SpedLab, but XGJ is dog boning! 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hello Warren, Lowfers, XGJ is still pounding in here at 9:00 am E.D.T., several hours after our local sunrise! 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hello Hugh, LFers, I've had wind and PV here for over ten years and it hasn't negatively effected my ham activity at all. In fact, all of my ham equipment including three computers, runs either direc
Hi Scott, Lowfers, Way to go!!! It never fails to amaze me what can be done if you're determined in your quest. Yet another LF milestone to add to the books. Congratulations to all involved. 73, J.B.
Hello LFers, A nice video with spectacular views of both the structure and the surrounding area! However, as a ex-rigger myself, I was shocked at the lack of safety equipment and the climbing techniq
Hi Dave, Although the sampling rate isn't quite as high as what you are after, I can recommend the Griffin iMic based on my use of it here for PSK31. At only $39.00 CDN, it doesn't break the bank and
Hello LFers, I don't plan on being active on 8.9 kHz. myself (at least at the moment) but I'm finding the postings on the subject extremely interesting reading. Those who are doing these ground-break
Hi Bill, LFers, Way to go, Bill. Nice captures you got....wish I'd put a bit more effort into it myself, but just didn't get it together. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93
Hello LFers, Early in the evening I thought receiving conditions where going to be the pits, as there was an awful noise much like snow static on 160 and 75 meters. However, checking now the noise is
Hi John, LFers, Last night was much more successful in decoding your WSPR transmissions. You must have cranked the power up a bit, or the receiving conditions at my end where better, producing this:

Hi John, LFers, I've got WSPR up and running on your frequency and will check come morning to see if you made it. The two previous nights I've snagged the Oregon and Alaskan Navtex stations, so the p
Hello Jean-Louis, Thanks for the information on the LW station I was hearing last night. That's an unusual arrangement with the station being in Germany but broadcasting in french, but I suppose it's
Hi John, LFers, There where some very odd things happening on the band last evening. It was as if I was being de-sensed by another transmission. Sometimes it was a solid "outage" for several seconds
Hello Jay, LFers, I totally agree with your comments Jay....I posted something to this affect just last week on the LowFER reflector. Having a "window" for eastbound signals and a different "window"
Hello Albert, Thank you very much for the info. Once I had the right frequency set on the receiver and the program configured for the 1.7 kHz. offset I began to see text appearing. Now all I need to
Hello LFers & Lowfers, I'm playing around with the MultiPSK program and different modes. I'd like to see if I can decode any of the H.F. Navtex transmissions on 4,209.5 kHz. Is that frequency the dia
Hi Mal, I got this info right off the power supply circuit board identifiers: BLK is common ground or return for all listed below YEL is 12 volt pos. RED is 5 volt pos. WHT is 5 volt neg ORG is 3.3 V
