Hello Ed,

receiving DCF39 with 9+40dB is a very good sign. But as you mention the
large antenna will pick up a lot of strong signals causing intermodulation
in teh RX. Although bringing the antenna to resonance (by the loading coil)
will attenuate the out-of-band signals (but probably not DCF39) it will be
usefull to have an attenuator between the antenna and RX. At home, where I
use a 14m high and 22m long inv-L, I have found out that 20dB attenuation
give the best result. So with the big antenna you might need up to 40dB (a
step attenuator migh be best) , without any attenuattion you will probably
just hear a 'boiling pot'.

Good luck with the 136kHz tests, looking foward to work you in QRSS or DFCW.

Hello rsgb_lf_group!

Last news (8z 29 mar):

- March, 28 at last have got the sanction to work to a tower and in 17z the
LF ANT already was groundless

- ANT should be simplified :
              110m long
               |
               V       |
   h=~90m->----------- |<- h=131m
            \          |
              \        |
   150m long-> \       |
                  \    |
                    \  |
                  TX O |
Wires of the ANT - Litz-wire 175x0.1 (~2mm - ekw Cu diam ~1.5mm)abt 280m
long over 5mm Polypropilene cord 470m long

- DFC39 it became audible on S 59+40 without any coil, filters, amplifiers
and ATT.
The voltage on the end (without coil)of ANT below has made ~4V
Cross-modulation is very strong.

-  Now  we  make  updating  Band-pass  and coil (diam ~40cm, Litz-wire
  175x0.1mm abt 700-1000 mkH

- Have strengthened team Serge UA6LFQ - Let's try to organize round-the-clock
 work

- If know Russian and there is a Russian coding in Windows can inform me on a
pager on http://crypt.rnd.ru for 29600 (rus or engl)
 or via e-mail: [email protected]  Subject: 29600  In body: text
 Pager will be used in time DX-pedition

- First QSO will be RU6LWZ - call our club
