May I join to what Laurie G3AQC said
about the usefulness of John's GM4SLV graber. It is indeed a
remarkable
contribution to help those who either
intend to go into LF and the many others who for one reason or another
are
unable to do it.If one uses
the grabber linked to the advice and the many useful tips
coming almost everyday on the forum,
one can easely perceive the size
of the audience it can reach.
I for one wish more grabbers
available

I cannot agree ! I use this grabber all the time and find it
very useful.
Sometimes during the day there is no signal but then I am on
the south coast,
a long way away. At night no problem, so John please keep
up the good work.

This grabber is not reliable. I do not see G acty either not even my
own signal when in fact I am getting good reports inter UK and xband
from EU.
It is too far north away from the majority of G acty. The RX antenna
could be the problem.

Yes, I do check the Shetland grabber - don't normally see
that much G activity though. An east coast US grabber would be nice -
unfortunately most of the east coast stations also do quite a bit of
transmitting making even part time grabber operation problematic.
Will be keeping an eye open for T/A signals.

Re: LF: TA on 500kHz
Hi Jay,
You'll be able to watch all
the European activity in near real time via the grabber in the Shetland
isles. Obviously narrow bandwidths work best and although beacons
are generally at the 503.5 to 504k section of the band, there are still
a few station who presumably using crystal control who are further down
the allocation.
Any signs of life on your
screen can be quickly checked against:
Unfortunately there seems to
be no equivalent on the East coast of the USA or in VO1 for us to see if
our signals are making it over to you. So it's a little more hit and
miss for us. - But with a little effort I'm sure a two way TA contact
will happen fairly soon.

Mal...and other T/A enthusiasts
I'm interested in
additional W / EU contacts on 500 kHz. To date the only
station
I've worked is Finbar ... albeit on three occassions. It would be
helpful if those interested would run periods in beacon mode
(normal cw
speed) so that I can listen for your signals. If I can
hear your station,
you should be able to hear mine...with the
higher ERP from this end.
Setting up a sked for a particular night
at a particular time is unlikely to
produce a QSO - conditions
vary widely from day to day, hour to hour and
even minute to
minute over this path.
