Hi John thanks for the update. I had hoped that I might catch an odd 'peep'
of a signal in the quiet periods overnight, using Argo on the 10 sec mode. I
would be interested to know what his exact frequency is as I am willing to
wind the bandwidth down and see if anything can be seen. It may be necessary
to do clever things with loops to get the BC noise down a bit more, if I am
to stand any real chance.
I am trying to keep up with the propagation reports on my web site, but it
is difficult not having a transatlantic reference signal at present. The
short 2000km path suffers from lots of fading in quiet conditions, where the
longer paths are less affected by higher orders of 'hops'. Still the DCF39
<> CT1DRP path does give some confirmation of when things are likely to be
depressed.
