Dom, thanks for raising the issue of the NoV, as I guess others are keen to know where we all stand. RSGB, at its quarterly meeting with Ofcom last September, raised the issue of NoV extension, as we
David, I suggest that you write into Ofcom after they have made their announcement and establish the position on adding modes. My guess that they will be relaxed. From a spectrum management perspecti
John - In the event that the expiry dates of the current NoV permits will be extended, what will be the position as regards extending the permitted modes? My present NoV only permits "A1A, CW". This
Hi Victor, Hartmut & Lubos, Yes, I have been receiving this signal with QSB from early November, I had no idea what was the source until now, thanks to Hartmut & Lubos. A good propagation indicator.
Thaks for the report Lubos, 73 Victor PA3FNY --Oorspronkelijk bericht-- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]Namens Lubos OK2BVG Verzonden: maandag 1 feb
Tnx Lubnos That was normal CW from me. The other stn was in Beacon mode causing qrm to LA1TN in QSO mode. 73 mal/g3kev -- Original Message -- From: [email protected] Lubos OK2BVG To: rsgb_lf_group@b
There has been some discussion recently regarding getting a signal across the Atlantic Ocean on LF. A number of people have recounted stories regarding conditions on 500 khz. Perhaps I can add to the
Hi Finbar and the group. Your logging of the 500 KHz stations was appreciated! I too spent a great deal of time at sea listening carefully on 500 KHz and even lower frequencies on old fashioned CW. A
Hi everybody, as there is discussion in this list about CW ship comms on 500 kHz, you might be interested to see a photo of the 500 kHz antennas on the roof of the Hellenic Coast Guard HQ (callsign S
Dear Finbar et AL; THE POWER OF WCC and WSL I have taken from a 1959 list of coast and ship stations, volume 1, coast stations. Concerning a medium wave band, as stated on another occasion (DK8KWs me
Hi Hans-Joachim, I do not disagree with your power level for WCC and WSL, I was just commenting on the sheer power level used by these stations, compared to the ususal 1 kw transmitters used at coast
Dear Finbar, thank You for your comment. I think the high powers of WCC and WSL were the result of the competition of the two different telegraph companies in the New York area, a situation we had no
Yes that would be our very own Finbar! 73s Tracey [email protected] Lincolnshire U.K. On the end of this page is writen "...This transmission was sent using a straight key, by F. O'Connor R
Rich Well I guess there could be more than one F O'Connor who is an r/o at Malin Head Radio but it's unlikely! Dave G3YXM. Hi LF-ers... Looking around the LF and MF pages I found this page: http://ww
Dear Andy, LF Group, At the moment, most stations in the UK seem to find an adequate SNR so they can work each other by conventional means. I expect this will change a lot when 500kHz becomes more wi
Another approach - as I have a number of crystals at the low end of 3.5 MHz and TTL devices in the junk box I built a 7400 oscillator feeding a 7490 decade counter wired to divide by 7. Although the

Hi Laurie, Many thanks ! And sincere apologies for this delayed response - too many non radio projects I also got sidetracked by building an Elecraft KX1 for an upcoming holiday trip but that's all d
