Hello everybody,
Thank you, Markus for a nice QSO, at the beginning your signal was
audible enough for a CW reception here, it degraded later though.
I am a little surprised with the strength of Loran lines this year. Last
year they were barely visible and only at times, now it's a well audible
clicking, almost all the time. The only change in the SP5ZCC station is
the length of the horizontal part of the T antenna used also for
reception (now ca. 160-180m of horizontal part). That shouldn't have
made that big difference(?).
The grabber is running until the evening today at
http://sq5bpm.sp5zcc.waw.pl/grab , I will probably come to the club to
launch some CQs in the afternoon. I am not brave enough to launch the
transmitter remotely, however I could do it from home as I have a remote
VNC access to the PC used for LF, through a wlan 2.4GHz link ;) I hope
that the next version of the LF transmitter will be better, so it can be
(almost) safely remotely operated.

Dear Dave and Jeff,
many thanks for the reports, and also thanks to Marek SP5ZCC for the
nice QSO we had a few minutes later.
Yes, there's a GRI 6731 line on 137698.7075 - these are rather weak
here in the hinterland so I tend to forget :-( I actually may have
caused the same type of difficulty for Marek when I transmitted on
137706.0 - his grabber shows a regular pattern of Chayka (GRI 8000)
lines every 6.25 Hz.
Last night that West Coast NPG was visible for many hours, up to 1.5
µV/m both on 135925.1 and 975.1 - fascinating stuff indeed.
73 and best wishes
Markus, DF6NM

Your dot frequency is right on one of our horrid Rugby Loran lines near
137700. If you QSY 1 or 2 Hz HF your signal would be in the clear in
the UK.
