Hi MF ops,
Being in holiday (JO63WR - very rural area) i am playing around with new
PERSEUS RX.
Antenna similar to PA0RDT whip (P8000 + 2N3866) in 3 m height.
Yesterday evening 600 mtrs full of beacon sigs, besides GM4SLV, G4WGT, SK6RUD
lot of
commercial beacons (A2A mod, c/s C, KN, TBV, ILM, WRW and more).
First (bad) idea:
Intermod prods in rx - > used old EKD300 rx : same sigs audible
Next idea: intermod in active antenna (have only this ant in holiday qth).
So called nearby OM (DL2NRC, qrb 5 km - tnx) who crosschecked by IC735 and EKV
rx on his
shortwave antennas. He did receive just the same i got.
Unluckily i operate the PERSEUS rx only at an ASUS EEEPC with microscopic
ressources.
Therefore I wasn't able to store the screen.
Had to cease observations yesterday at 1800 utc.
Today, Oct. 15th:
0530 - 0540 utc:
relative noise level on free channel (rms) -125 dBm (nearly "left" end of
PERSEUS scale)
GI4DPE: -100 dBm (peak value in heavy qsb)
SK6RUD: -100 dBm (much less qsb)
DI2AM: -80 dBm (no qsb, qrb abt 120 km)
comm A2A bcns:
ILM 488 kHz -115 dBm
C 485 -110 dBm
TBV 492 -114 dBm
Z 508 -103 dBm
KN 494 -92 dBm.
Anyone with info re. these comm beacons? (qth?)
Very sorry that I cannot continue this obs before next week.
Lucky old men in G, SM and ON.
Hope DL authorities will permit qso on my old "daily bread" band in the future.
