Dear LF Group,
Has anybody heard/worked GW3XDV/P yet? I was QRV on 73kHz
last night, although not until about 1900, but could hear and see
very little due to the fantastically high level of QRN. I could see
G3LDO's beacon signal for a while, but even that was
overwhelmed eventually. 136kHz was extremely noisy too.
Conditions were more normal around 0800 this morning, but I had
no response to a few QRSS CQ calls. I will be QRV on 71.81kHz
this evening again, and also Saturday morning, in the hope of
working Mike before he returns.
I think G0MRF makes an important point about 'Transatlantic II'
frequencies - operating with split frequencies would also help avoid
the problem of RX audio/soundcards being overloaded by several
very strong local stations whilst trying to listen for weak
transatlantic signals.
I am having a rake through my box of crystals, to see if I can find
any useful frequencies - what sorts of frequency are being used for
VXO/Mixer type systems?
Cheers, Jim Moritz
