Jean-Pierre,

   Patience please!  The WD2XGJ  ATU is almost ready - this time I
have silver plated the components for good conductivity.
WD2XGJ should be back on 137 soon!

Hi Alan , Andy , Warren ,

If I read you well ! I can arrange my LF 137 Khz until the next solar cycle
!
To stop the grabber which have not seen anything any more for one month !
and to make another thing ! I find that it will be interesting to study the
increase
of the solar activity, perhaps would have surprises ! ..... ( I remember to
have
copied good signals of Warren in August )

Hi Warren I dont think anything will prevent TA on 136 but it will become
more difficult as the Sun becomes more active. The original crossings on
136kHz  were made near the last Solar max, but it was necessary to select
a
favourable time, or be very lucky. Large flares and associated CMEs lead
to
increased path loss often for weeks. Good periods have been much more
prevalent during the last 12 months and there have been few major
geomagnetic events.
1 watt ERP is probably that marginal, higher powers are probably more
likely
to succeed more often.

Another factor which muddies things is then when the first crossings were
made we only have 3sec dot available via Robert Horne's Spectrogram.

Hi Alan,

Probably not what you wanted but that is the present status. 136 is

fairly

quiet over here just now, but it may be the last good chance to make the
crossing for a few years !!

    What are you expecting to happen that will prevent T/A on 137 in
the future?

Hi Andy there are no stations beaconing continuously on 136khz. However

the

usual way to observe the propagation is my monitoring the idle signal

from

DCF39 138.830 and/or HGA22 on 135.54. DCF39 is located at Burg near to
Magdeburg in Germany. HGA22 is located at Lakihegy near Budapest. It is

not

as much fun as QRSS.DFCW, or WOLF, but they are very relaible. Steve

Dove

W3EEE post 24 hour strength plots, though his system is down at present.
Most TA attempts from this side are made by arrangement usually via this
list.

Greetings from the US:

I want to monitor 136 / 137 KHz this winter for TA beacons,
if there are any on. Will someone tell me if there are any
that beacon continuously, what mode and frequency, callsign.
If I have a list, and know where to look, that is a starting
place. Thanks for your replies; 73:

 LOWfer Beacon " XR " @ 184.322 KHz
