Hi Bob, Success! :-) Welcome! :-) Sorry i can't receive on 4000m here since my receivers are mono band homemade DC converters (for 137 kHz and 472 kHz) and direct sampling receivers at 0...24 kHz. Bu
Stefan; 73 kHz band is going to be difficult from my preliminary tests. Seems to be a lack of skywave. I think skywave is going to be rather scarce and best I am doing so far is out to Kansas but it
Alan; I appreciate your input on 73. It was my idea to have Warren Zeigler file an app just to see what might happen at our FCC. I had heard the staff at our FCC was instructed to welcome experimente
Alan; You most certainly got me thinking. I am located on the side of a mile long drop to the East about a 1/4 mile down from the top on the east side of the hill. Over 1/2 mile remains to the bottom
Stefan; The voltage is terrible! I can draw a 2.5 inch flame off the ant input. I am cramped for space to the west as I am only 20 feet from the neighbors line. I am on 4 acre lot and room in all but
Alan; I clamped a short radial to the well casing and it loaded the amp heavier. Had to add a .01 additional mica cap to the plate load in the pi-net output. Ant current went up to 9.5 amps from just
Alan; The vertical portion slopes slightly to the east. The extended zepp is broadside to Europe so ends run SES and NwN. I also have a pair of 120' wires one on each leg about 35' from the zepp so I
Stefan; What kind of ground system do you use and recommend? I use chicken wire radials. I roll it up when time to mow grass and let it out in October. I have couple short ones out and one 150 footer
Stefan; If you get time can you show me where the sphericas electrode would be placed? Maybe at the ant end? I have figured you have 10 db on me on 137! You are in here almost every night regardless
Stefan; Your VLF work is the most interesting project! I saw all your info on the web. I guess there is nowhere else for you to go as you went down to 4 or 5 kHz. There must have been some voltage th
Stefan; I will be putting out the chicken wire in couple weeks when mowing ends. It will be interesting to see if there are any changes in ant resistance. As Alan sez "maybe nothing". I agree that th

Hi Bob, the propagation conditions are very similar to the other LF bands ....there is skywave but the ground wave is stronger further. The usual problem is antenna efficiency .....in rounded figures
Hi Bob that sounds a good set-up. Excuse my "telling Grandma how to suck eggs" (as we call it) in my last, but I have seen many frustrated LF ops after much work and investment in copper, gain little

Further to Alan's posts, some thoughts on the earlier 72 kHz TA reception from December, 2002. TA signals from G3AQC and G3LDO (among others) on 2200 meters had been regularly copied in the eastern U
Hi John yes I agree totally with your assessments I had forgotten Peter was active at the same time...knowing the date now I will search back through the archive and look at the Dst as this was befor

Hi Bob that soundsa terrific location for Europe sloping away to the East, and it sounds like your ground is helpful too. It is interesting the well helps though not as much as hoped for......this is
