Hi Alan....no measurements were taken, as the antenna/ground system was for my xtal sets. The antenna is an inverted-L, connected to the series L-C circuit of my AMU, then to ground. It tunes the 50
A noise that had plagued me for months in attempts to run WSPR on 2200M has finally gone away. Over the weekend I will be monitoring WSPR-X in the -15 mode looking for any activity. My VE7SL style lo
I've made a change in my WOLF operation after chatting with John Andrews, W1TAG/WD2XES. Instead of 630M, I am now set up on 2200M with a USB dial of 136.000 kHz. and a centre freq. of 1,350 Hz. I'll
I downloaded and installed the software as directed and entered my callsign and grid square, but not any of the rig details, as I intend to listen/watch only and my TS-440S doesn't have the CAT featu
Hello Stefan & Vincent....thanks for your replies....it's now configured the way I like it. I've selected JT65 and JT9 together, since I'll not be transmitting. All I need now is some activity on the
Hi Paul....go to a motor rewinding shop and get some of the sleeving they use to cover the connections of the windings to the fly-leads. It's available in a wide range of sizes and can really take t
I enjoy reading all of the posts, but I'm having problems with a few that the font is too small and my "old codger" eyes are having a real challenge to decipher. Would it be too much to ask that you
Hi Alan....the size if the text seems to vary from one message to another, depending on who posted the message. There are only about three or four of the fellows that I'm having troubles reading thei
I think they use something like that at the USN's big VLF transmitter NAA in Cutler, Maine, to keep the giant antenna in tune with the FSK transmissions. The same with SAQ in Grimeton, Sweden. 73, J.
I realize that every installation of PV arrays is different, but I think they are being given a bad rap. For over 16 years, all of my shack has been powered by solar panels, including devices that a
Hi Joe, I can picture you there braving the cold and wind, congratulations! Was Guglielmo there in spirit looking over your shoulder? 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
They use a system like that on the US Navy's VLF transmitter at station NAA, Cutler, Maine. It keeps the high Q antenna resonant in step with the FSK modulation. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR"
Wishing all of my LF friends on the Blacksheep Reflector a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2018. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
The T/A last night wasnt just for JT9 and WSPR on LF and MF. I managed to log five full Navtex messages from $01K, GNI, Niton, England, over a distance of 5,847 km. Its not my furthest DX, but its a
I set up for WSPR-15 on 137 kHz. last evening, using my VE7SL type 10 foot loop aimed across the pond in the faint hope of logging something. Alas, no such luck, so its back to 474.200 and WSPR-2 for
Ill be configured for receiving WSPR-2 on 2,200 metres over the next few nights. Antenna is a VE7SL type 10 foot loop aimed 50-230 degrees for any T/A signals. There will be no automatic data uploads
