Hi All,
After reading the mail at mid-day today (22/06/2005) reference LORAN
transmissions from Rugby I carried out some checks. Using my G3LNP loop &
Spec Lab I compared noise levels with previous Spec Lab captures & I am also
reading about a 10db or more increase across 136 KHz using on the spectrum
graph on Spec Lab. The waterfall display is showing strong LORAN lines all
across the display, considering this is at mid-day is it going to be worse
at night in darkness? if this is the case it will be useless for me. With
the G3LNP loop connected straight to the Yaesu FT-747 & the loop tuned to
the 136 KHz band the signal strength on the S-Meter has increased from S4 to
S9.
My location is near Chorley, Lancashire (IO83qp)
Regards,
Gary - G4WGT - IO83qp

Dear LF Group,
Bad news... This morning at about 0740utc the Rugby Loran station is
definitely operating - At my QTH the 136kHz audible noise level has
increased by about 10 - 15dB as a result.
