To All from PA0SE
At 0955 today I worked Jim, M0BMU/P at
the Puckeridge station.
On the Decca antenna his signal was
exactly S8; corresponding to a field strength of
8.6
microvolt/metre.
On the "amateur antenna"
the signal was 4dB
weaker.
I reported the signal exhibited a
fast fluctuation in strength with a frequency of a few hertz. But I later found
out it was my signal generator interfering with Jim's signal. even with the
output turned down to zero. It shows that even a HP606B is not perfectly
screened!
