Thanks Joe and to others - beacon remains on at "nominal", around 250 Watts
input at the moment.
My web site is down till around 0300Z Friday when I get the PC back, but the
front page shows the state of the beacon and a times Argo capture of the
transmission..
Beacon hasnt been seen on the West coast to my South at the moment but the
skies are still sort of grey at midnite, but "night" is increasing at nearly
6 mins daily.
Modifications to the existing grant are in the OET FCC database - must check
this morning to make sure my keystrokes here equals the FCC's there.
Changes are a) additional frequency windows so I can place myself in optimum
"quiet" frequencies away from Loran spurs
b) Emission bandwidth statements to 100Hz allowing CW id at reasonable
speeds and maintining Part 5 regs ref station id
c) permission to communicate with co channel Part 5 stations for data
interchange looking at path variations in the time and frequency domains at
"known ERP" levels (you send a bit of info and I send a bit of info we look
strength, phase, etc) - Im hoping this is backed by the FCC but will have
to work with others Part 5 grantees/Applicantees if they ask for more info.
d) and no means least permission to communicate with co channeled amatuer
radio stations involved in path analysis experimentation on the
Internationally accepted 136Khz band where my allocated grant
frequencies/modesmatch. Yep I know Im licenced as an expermental service
and hams are something different licence wise, and we may have to work with
the DTI etc to seek permission to communicate with non ham stations...
- I expect d's going to be a no no but if you dont ask....and you have to
start somewhere.
More detailed experimental quotes and reasons for the request is on the OET
FCC web site or I can send you the word doc explaining my reasoning.
