Subject: LF: GW beacons / GI4DPE
Dear LF Group,
I had good reception of beacon signals from
GW4HXO, GW3UEP and GI4DPE on Tuesday night / Wednesday morning - All the signals
got up to a 569 sort of level at times, but with a lot of fading. When it
started getting light, all 3 signals quickly faded into the noise. I have
attached a snippet of the spectrogram showing the signals from GW4HXO (upper)
and GI4DPE (lower) which illustrates the fading, with the time markers at 5
minute intervals. For some reason, the fading on GW4HXO's signal seems to be
deeper than GI4DPE's, although both signals are peaking at a similar
level.
I also had a good CW QSO with GI4DPE tonight
starting about 2335utc; this had similar fading but never really disappeared
completely, and was 569 most of the time for about 25 minutes. I am also hearing
GW3UEP's beacon signal, which again seems to have much more fading than Finbar's
signal did.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
