Tonight's WD2XES test will be a dead carrier on 137,577.309506014 Hz, interrupted only by CW ID's on the top and bottom of the hour. There will be no (intentional) phase changes at this end. The carr
Markus I have similar images of various blue/violet arcs in the sky. However the best story is this... When I was commissioning this antenna for the first time I created a large orange fire ball in t
Hi Scott, corona - boy there's a few stories I can tell. With my ever-too-small antenna made from a pair of 0.5 mm enameled copper wires, I have to run 15 kV rms to radiate 200 mW, and it always glow
Markus The test ended shortly after 0200UTC due to concerns of coronal discharge and antenna match xfmr saturation. I did some work on the antenna in the dark and elminated on source of discharge how
Markus - Yes, your report was from Saturday. Tnx. John A. hmm sorry John, that was Saturday, right? Markus In einer eMail vom 19.02.2006 21:53:55 Westeuropäische Normalzeit schreibt MarkusVester@aol.

Hi John, Scott and LF Group, the gear is set up for receiving 137577.3 +-0.5 Hz tonight, recording 11025/10368 IQ-samples per second. I have connected a "proper" OCXO so stability should be better th
WD2XES will try a run of slow BPSK on the following very odd frequency tonight: 137,577.309506014 Hz. This frequency appears to be clear of Loran lines for 1 Hz either side over a fairly large area,
Thanks to Hartmut, Steve Dove, and Jean-Pierre for reports thus far. Peter Martinez did copy the signal last night, and is analyzing the data. The BPSK keying is clearly visible in his plots. We will
Hartmut, I believe such magnitude jumps are to be expected, due to the superposition of a phase-reversed signal from John and a constant-phase carrier from the Russian Loran. Markus In einer eMail vo
Markus, Thanks. I had a rough start-up due to an earlier power failure, but hopefully everything is OK. John A. John and LF Group, I have started to record decimated IQ audio in a 2.7 Hz channel arou
Hartmut, No, the power has been steady, as far as I know. We were out for about an hour after the start-up, though. The AC power was out here when I came home from work, so I'm hoping that the GPS-sy
John, have you reduced power since 23:15? Hartmut WD2XES will again be running a test on 136.71875 kHz tonight, starting at 2230 or 2245. Reports and screen shots from the U.K. and EU would be welcom
John and LF Group, I have started to record decimated IQ audio in a 2.7 Hz channel around 136718.75 for offline analysis. Unfortunately my receiver is not GPS-locked, just a simple temperature contro

It seems you started at 22:30. No problem with the Loran line here, with a faster screen. 73 Hartmut WD2XES will again be running a test on 136.71875 kHz tonight, starting at 2230 or 2245. Reports an
