Hi
gang,
Just heard G3DXZ (RST 2-3 2 9) working G3VTT on
502kHz
Colin 'VTT was just audible but not readable by ear, weak trace
on
waterfall.
G3DXZ was readable, with careful listening, between
the static crashes.
It was a ragchew - with no repeats - so I missed the
odd word but I'm
sure we could have exchanged name/QTH okay.
I must
build a narrow audio CW filter for listening using the AR7030,
as it's IF
filtering is a bit wide at 1.3kHz - not a problem for
adjacent channels,
but gives a too large a noise bandwidth.
Don't know where G3DXZ is, so
can't estimate distance, but nto bad for
daylight path to
Shetland.
Have been copying Finbar's CW beacon too all day until he
turned it off
sometime this afternoon.
Regards,
John

Forgot to add that Chas G3DXZ is in Retford Notts and is using a 66ft
dipole at 30ft along with the CH system as a ground!
