Dear John, LF Group, Up to 1836utc you were getting up to a reasonably readable s3 level on the peaks of the fades - now you are down to a faint line on the spectrogram display. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73

Hi John, LF. I left speclab running on a very long display, and there is just a faint glimmer of a trace appearing a 19:32. From about 20:00 it is much more obvious at about 10 dB above my noise floo
Thanks Michel! This is very good news! A distance of 1318km! Amazing. At 20:30 I am using 5W TX power. Estimated ERP is 25mW. That is a fantastic report! I will QSL direct for the SWL report. 73 de J
Fantastic news Dave! Will leave at 5W until 18:30 then QRP to around 1W or approx 5mW ERP - should give an indication of your own signal strenght? Cheers -- John GM4SLV IP90gg Clousta, Shetland
Thanks Mal, This was the purpose of the test and you've confirmed my own thoughts on the matter. A few dB makes a huge difference when signals are close to the noise - the difference between "workabl
Hi john, LF, Only seeing a weak trace on SpecLab, no chance of hearing. 73 Gary - G4WGT - IO83qp -- Original Message -- Now at 18:36 down to 1W and approx 5mW ERP Cheers, John
Hello LF, I've just started a CW beacon on 501.5 at 5W TX power (approx 20mW ERP) for an hour or so. The QRN isn't quite so fierce, between the really heavy hail showers, so it would be interesting i
John Your beacon was peaking S5 at 1732z then qsa 0 for periods and up again, characteristic of insufficient power for the freq at that time. It is the same on HF with qrp stns, in and out of the noi
Hello Jim & LF group, Thanks for the report. This is the sort of thing I wondered about. Up to 18:36 the 5W / 20mw ERP signal was readable but dropping another 7dB and it was below the noise floor. I
