Nothing here, even VO1NA was a fuzzy shadow of his former self...

I looked at dcf39 captures as a comparison (again you can click on the
argo
screen for 1830Hz and select the appopriate file) - I (argo) could detect
DCf39 at 0300Z but signals were very weak, about say, 40db down on when I
saw you in Feb.
Thanks for the best wishes - the beacon will be going off on Friday as the
room where the TX is, is a "ballroom" and will be used for 'dancin' !
Whilst looking for NDB's last night Im noticing that Im picking up
internal
electrical noiz in the tx ae/co from my cooling fans (rf whirring) and PSU
spurs when using the internal TX LPF (used on receive). I disconnected the
aerial and terminated in 50 ohms but could still hear PSU fan/noiz on the
RX It could be its been there all the time but does need investigation -
its not knocking the s/n much on 137Khz giving the overall noiz figure,
but
I do need to eliminate it.
Keep on looking!~
