My own observations showed that a weak signal seemed to show up better on 426 than 5, although I could well have not learned how to drive the latter. However that was version 5.01. I see from the web
Perhaps I can answer my own question. I have just tried v5.08 on a weak signal that I had recorded. In my opinion it outperforms not just 5.01 but also 4.26. 73 John Taylor G0AKN [email protected]
No one came back on my Spectrogram comment yesterday - does anyone use 5.08 and what settings have you found best for 10 sec dots? 73 John Taylor G0AKN [email protected]
Please note change of date to Sunday Aug 8. Sending: G0AKN There are two base configurations. 1. Sea electrode to sea electrode (East-West) 2. Earth electrode to sea electrode (North-South) 1000 -103
Thanks for listening for us, Geri. I got 227 miles, to Ipswich on 136kHz. We'll try again on 73 and 136 sometime. 73 John Taylor G0AKN [email protected]
Regarding the use of 'earth bi-pole' antennas at 73, 136 and audio frequencies, have a look at my website www.wireless.freeserve.co.uk 73 John Taylor G0AKN [email protected]
Let's get a date fixed and allocate frequencies as soon as possible. I will fire up the 1kW amplifier again and, subject to there being no storms, will try out my Stratoscoop 4 kite as aerial lifter.
My experience with met balloons is that they have little lifting power. I tested a met balloon which was 1 metre across and filled with helium. It really had little useful lift - its own weight is to
