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
