Dear All on MF,
DI2AG is
still
running in WSPR, 0.5W ERP on 505.090KHz. TNX to G0HNW for his numerous
reports
last night and also to F4DTL and DJ6LB. DI2AG will be transmitting
continually
throughout day and night until Monday morning. Your reports - also
daylight
propagation - are welcome via WSPR database or by e-mail. Thanks a lot.

BTW: Last eve, when I started WSPR on MF, I
observed my signal with ARGO - full band view. Only one modulated
carrier on the
screen. All ok. For a while later - sun had disappeared - suddenly the
screen
was full of vertikal lines , all modulated like the main carrier. It was
a
ladder, all lines 100, 200, 300,.....Hz apart. When the transmitter
paused, the
carriers were off. Something wrong with the equipment? After a long time
I found
the reason: I had switched on the light in my shack. This comes from
three
energy-saving bulbs, each 15W. My antenna begins just outside the
shack,
part of the power mixed in the electronic of the bulbs with the
rectifiers. When
replacing these Bulbs by good olds type Mr. Edison the ghost carriers
were off.
What do we learn? Before saving energy test the bulbs for curious
signals :-)
