Dear LF Group,
Once again, thanks to those who sent signal reports on last night's
beacon signals, and thanks also to those who continue to
listen/watch for our signals. I transmitted the same signal as before
on 135.924kHz, this time from 1900 to 0230, after which I decided
it was time for bed.
I saw VE2IQ's spectrogram, showing the signals he could see last
night - clearly, they are on the right frequency give or take a few
mHz, however, positive identification is still difficult - in the case of
my signals, they appear to be still too weak or too fast(!) for the
on/off pattern to really show. I will alter my frequency slightly next
time - hopefully, Bill's signal will alter frequency too.
If these signals do turn out to be G3AQC and myself, the difference
in time between optimum reception is certainly interesting and
unexpected.
Thanks to G4JNT for the frequency check - I think I will leave my
reference oscillator alone for the time being, it is still just about
within spec, although it probably has not been set up for several
years.
I will try again tonight at similar times. Since Laurie is now going to
135.922, I will try 135.923 for a change. Hope this is OK.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
