Hello Graham, Hello Andy,
reading about your
activities concerning Multi-function beacon I tried yesterday evening to catch
your signals, but unfortunately with no results copying your sig. May be condx
were not good enough. Moreover I had some bad manmade QRM from TV and
PC.
As Rob Hemesley told you I am active
in 5-MHz-beaco- monitoring specially concerning scattergram monitoring in
order to analyse signal path situation (direct wave / sky wave
behaviour).
But I am running both analysis
software, GB3RAL.exe and Scattergram.exe and it would not be any problem to
modify the internal PC-clock specially regarding GB3RAL.exe in order to analyse
the long term signal level of your Multi-function beacon. So I will try to
continue monitoring your Multi-function beacon hopefully that condx will be
better in the next evening sessions (hi).
If there will be Scattergram acties in
future I certainly need some more dB signal level, but it would be very
interesting to investigate the signal path
situation.
Of course, this is more interesting
for those participants who are located in a distance range between 150 and 300
km in order to monitor the slide crossover from direct wave to sky wave signal
path.
However, thank you very much for implementation of your
very interesting Multi-function beacon project and I will keep on running my
monitoring activities and will inform you in any case about further
results.
vy 73 and a lot of
success by running Multi-function beacons, I will be ?on the qui vive?
!!!

By the way:
Dial frequency 505.2 kHz,
is that o.k.? (because GB3RAL.exe is decoding with 1500 Hz
too).
For BPSK31-decoding I am
using DigiPan Vers.2.0
================================
So far so good .. quite a step up in
signal round 2100 hrs
no frequency decode before then , 15
db over noise at 2130
