Dear Group, A trip up the hill in deep snow with a wattmeter confirmed the RL was seriously detuned with ice. The original 100m wire was also iced and of little use until it was retuned. The forecast
Joe, thanks, good that you are intending to get on, despite those difficulties! I hope we can catch possible irregularities on your signal tomorrow morning. Of course it would be ideal to have that s
GM Markus, With your encouragement, let's try try a carrier starting 0845 while monitoring the tuning. I've seen no traces on any grabbers on your side of the pond so far, but we can hope. 73 nJoe Jo
Yes grabber is working ok but not a trace here yet, propagation must indeed be down. DF2JP http://www.df2jp.dxx.eu/lwgrabber.html shows a relatively weak and spread out signal on 137777. Northerly Lo
Hi Markus, The carrier was switched on at 0830. A weak trace appeared on your grabber overnight. 73 Joe Yes grabber is working ok but not a trace here yet, propagation must indeed be down. DF2JP http
Joe, great! We'll see whether we'll see something ;-) The visual eclipse started here a few minutes ago. Perfect sunny weather, now off to the garden with the scope and the attenuator foil. Thanks a

Hello Joe, I have monitored 137.777 kHz for two hours around the time of the eclips. Nothing found here, which does not come as a surprise as not a trace of VOCM on 590 was seen either! 73, Roelof, p

Hi Peter, I am not sure that the morning dip is related to the eclips, the propagation path didn't cross the eclips line at any time. Looking at the graphs, knowing there was an eclpis but not knowin
Hello Peter, Thanks for the plots. On an other note, I have made a 4 hour PERSEUS recording and should like to make some signal strength plots like yours. Is there a suitable program available to do

Hi Roelof, Thankyou for monitoring. Conditions are evidently very poor. This is unfortunate for the eclipse experiment. Pehaps I will let VOCM know that you have been listening to them! 73 Joe Hello
