Dear all.
I put out some QRSS from NW GM as announced but no
takers. The antenna was the best ever at the site, 80mtrs end fed at 13mtrs high
and all in the clear, after to some clandestine tree-climbing and bow and
arrow work!
Thanks to EI0CF(320km) and G3KEV(485km) for the CW
contacts.
Heavy Loran from the Faeroe Islands made reception
a bit tricky but I'm sure I could have copied some more distant stations if
anyone had been around.
I copied a mystery transmission centered around
137kHz although there was no carrier on 137. It had two sets of sidebands, one
around 136.65 and one around 137.3, each was about 100Hz wide. It sounded like
little bursts of data on the speaker. Quite weak. I have a recording if anyone
thinks they can analyse it!
Another query.
Whilst travelling back down the M6 through Cumbria
today I noticed a large umbrella loaded vertical, at least 100m high, I guess at
the Skelton transmitter site. Obviously an LF antenna, I wondered if anyone knew
what it was for?
73.
