Hello LFers, Do any of you live near Cardiff, Wales? My wife is wondering how they are doing in her home town weather-wise. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hello LFers, To all of my LF and VLF friends on the other side of the pond, I wish you a Merry Christmas and I hope you have found some nice goodies for the shack under the tree. Best of the season &
Hi Ken, I've been told that it varies from board to board and is between 1K and 10K. Wish I had a better answer for you. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hi John, The band conditions where not too favourable for me last night, but I did manage one decode: JPEG image Thanks for being on the air! 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30
Hello LFers, How about a wire controlled model airplane, with the aerial substituted for the usual control lines? You would have a choice of left or right circular polarization depending on the circu
Roger, Five caps of 1, 2, 4, 8, &16 nF. would do it as well, but my concern is the switches and their rating. Perhaps a system of binding posts and links could be fashioned from brass hardware. 73, J
Hi Andy, LFers, I'll second Stefan's recommendation of the WIMA FKP-1 caps. They are what I use in my 3 KVA Tesla coil and can take the harsh treatment just fine. A series-parallel array of 96 of the
Hello LFers, It seems to me that there has been a mountain made from a molehill on this issue. Just do it. A wise man once said "It's far easier to ask for forgiveness, than to ask for permission". I
Hi Joe, LFers, I tried copying you Sunday eve with SpecLab and my 500 kHz. delta loop, but negative results. Tonight I'm going to try Argo with my smaller but pre-amplified loop, hoping for positive
Hi Martin, LFers, I'm taking it that you are referring to me when you said John. It is my first name but I go by my second name of Bruce. You have the beacon frequency correct for "EAR" on 188.830 kH
Hi Bill, LFers, Nice grabber shot.....looks like a hint of something around 136.180 kHz. when I looked. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply and the screenshot. I read a posting of yours several months ago where you mentioned about some clipper diodes across your isolation transformer. I lashed up a limiter
Hi Andy, Joe, LFers, Now I don't feel so bad at my lack of success. I'm still going to check my setup for a possible snag. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hi LFers, If you plan to be on Saturday evening and/or early Sunday morning please post frequency and mode. Sorry I missed out last evening/night but I had other commitments. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER
Hi Joe, No luck copying your signal three nights in a row! Maybe your antenna DOES have a F/B ratio! I've been using the same setup that has worked before, so perhaps I've got a bug somewhere. 73, J.
Hi Joe, LFers, I'll have a look for you too, just to check that your antenna sends inland as well as TA. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hello LFers, What settings are you fellows using for Contrast, Sensitivity, and Visual Gain for ARGO? I've been using the following, but perhaps there are better ones out there: Contrast - 3rd. tick
Hi Joe, I'm set up and ready to try again tonight. I can't explain why I had no success last week, as all seems OK here equipment and antenna wise. Needing something to blame, I'll say it was the wea
