Graham - the "music" was a good 539 here and little or no qsb at the time. QTH is the Marriot hotel carpark, just a couple of hundred metres East of Junction 28 M1 on the Notts/Derbyshire border- elevation of antennae is err...well the baby bottle encompassing the 4 inch copper clad "array" and preamp is strapped to a lower section of a broken 2m magmount antennae that Martin Lynch donated last weekend and is some 15 inches above car roof level, so the effective antenna height aint that much.
The car park isnt that quiet being close to the hotel which is blessed with dimmers/apc's/variable freq air con drives and I also spy a crane across the road which tends to be the highest noise source from 137-2Mhz from its bespoke variable frequency drives and "long antennae" - luckily for me as distinct from Singapore the Brit workers knock off at 6pm so no 24 hours of churning noises which Im blessed with at home - I count over a hundred cranes on my Singapore skyline and can "hear" cranes on 137Khz up to two miles away.
Ill be whizzing or more likely crawling back to London this afternoon and will run captures on the way down - then on a flight back "home" to Singapore on Friday.
My impression of LF and MF conditions were that they were a lot quieter last night but to the detriment of long haul prop. I dont think Gus was on when I watched but the other beacons were down on average. No prop to here from Pat /6 station on 505.266 which was my target for the night. Looking at my remote receiver http://kl1x.com/captddcf.jpg I see a pretty average night on the Singapore to DCF39 path - with a lot of deep fades and no long peaks - peak levels down a few dBs from the previous night, but the station is experiencing a strong thunderstorm at the moment so things are a little choppy.
