Hi All, After looking at Dex's MedFER pages I am monitoring with SpecLab & QRSS10 around 1700Khz & I can see a very straight & continuous line on my display, could this be a Loran Line or something e
Hmm, I can't quite tell by looking. Highly unlikely to be a LORAN line at that frequency any more. On the other hand, 1705 is the upper limit for license-free operation, so if it's a MedFER, someone
Hi John & LF, Thanks for your reply. I didn't expect it to be a LORAN line this far away, I don't know the MedFER frequency band limits either. Since posting the e-mail the line at 1705004.5Hz now ha

Hi Dex, Thanks for the info, where can I find the actual freq allocations for these licence free operations? Good to see an example of what I should expect to see, I was just curious after looking at
I doubt that it could be a Loran line. The nearest Loran system in frequency used to be Loran A with a centre frequency just above 1900kHz. It was the bane of Topband DXers but was shut down years ag
Hi John, Thanks for that info, I don't remember LORAN A on 1900khz the only thing I recall is the navigational aid somewere around 1900khz which sent a series of differing frequency tones & was quite
On reflection I think Loran A was on about 1930. From what I recall it sounded a bit like multiple bandsaws fading in and out with their relative phases wobbling around like the efforts of a not very
The other reason for a dearth of international activity on top band 40 years ago was that much of the USA did not have a top band allocation. I can't be specific as my copy of the ARRL handbook for t
