Dear LF Group,
With all this talk of millihertz resolution, and atomic clock-like
stability, I wonder if any particular frequencies or sub-bands have
been considered for transatlantic test purposes? After all, the best
DSP techniques won't detect a signal if it's on the wrong
frequency, or if someone is innocently having a manual CW QSO
on top of it!
Another motive for raising this is on the grounds of complexity; like
several others, I don't have synthesised equipment, and building
fully featured synthesizers in my spare time is definitely a long term
goal. But I could come up with pretty good stability equipment with
the help of a couple of crystals, if I knew what frequency they
should be.
With this in mind, it would be helpful if the Transatlantic II people
could let us know of their intentions as soon as possible.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
