Hi Dave,
Very nice setup with the Icom computer contriolled receiver. Your attached
capture from the 23rd is definitely XGJ. Thanks for sending it.
I would like to try and receive your 137 signal when the conditions quiet down
here.

Hi, Warren.
Sorry about the call-sign. I guess it must be XGJ, from the frequency.
I also got copy from the night of 23rd, around 0430 utc (attached). I think
there's a definite "XGJ" in the middle of the clip. I reckon the QRB is
about 5580 km. I also saw some of the XES Jason "fuzz", but it's not very
visible in this shot.
I'm using an ICOM PC-R1000 on LSB with a tuned FET pre-amp. The antenna is a
Tee at 7m, with a 30m top, tuned with the obligatory plastic pail variometer
wound with about 250m of wire. On the transmit side, I run 200W out, which
gives me 1.8A antenna current.
The Icom RX is stable as a rock on 137 kHz, but the IF filter is a bit wide,
and it needs the pre-amp/preselector to keep the intermod down. Best of all,
my XYL doesn't realise it's actually a radio at all ;-)
I'll listen again tonight, as the QRN levels are quite low.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the capture. I take it thats XGJ? The frequency looks to be
close

What is your receive setup?
