Hello group,
Now the summer season arrived there is not much time left to set watch
on 136 kHz, but
around 11:50 zulu saturday (june 12th) I 'saw' 2 transmissions in the
slow cw part of
the LF band. The first from Geri was ok and stable within 1 Hz; a
second signal was okay for
the signal strength, but especially the first part of the transmission
was unreadable because
of a not stable oscillating circuit. That transmission could have been
from Mike, G3XDV
DK8KW 127.691 kHz calling cq. Signal good visible with gram 4.2.6
?3XDV 137.702 - 137.718 kHz. probably calling cq, first part of
transmission not visible.
I think that to take part in scw, you must have a stable carrier. the
second transmission (G3XDV?)
apparently had thermal feedback from the PA, the frequency drift was
more than 16 Hz, too much.
regards and 73
