Peter,
I will not transmit while these tests are on - it can cause some
confusion. I hope to be looking and will pass on reports of any activity I
see.
maybe not tonight, but I am still looking out for your signal on 71.8 kHz.
I think I saw you yesterday night, I saw a very weak "DO" just when it
disappeared on the left side of the screen (hadn't been in the shack for a
while, what about a kind of "alarm" function when anything above a certain
threashold level appears on the screen ... need to contact R.S. Horne and
ask him if this is possible ...).
Mike, G3YXM, I would also like to try to contact you x-band ... maybe next
weekend, early Saturday or Sunday morning ...
I have had reports that the top end of the band, near 74.4kHz is
clear. I have to modify my xtal mixer because at the moment is only
covers the bottom end of the band; so it is an evening with the
soldering iron tonight.
Hopefully 74.4 is not too close to HBG75 on 75 kHz, quite a strong signal
with me in Northern Europe, so surely much stronger in HB9/I5
Looking out on what we see tonight on 71.8 kHz and 137.7 kHz ... also
looking out for Valerio ... currently working on a solution to use the
stereo-function of Spectrogram to see 71.8 kHz on the left channel and
137.7 kHz on the right channel ... with two receivers ... let's see ...
Best 73
