RE: LF: Last night

Your right - I did miss that - sequencing was good, spacing was good and youll know the timing. Cool! Around 8300Kms overland path except for the Channel.
 
Well, that is a surprise !  it was a noisy night and we can do get a lot better - dcf39 is still around avg 10dB down on last week, and thats a lot of dBs. The Russians chaps are still down as well at the shorter 5000Kms or so range, so its going to be a bit like that AQC to KL7 path; and this is an over land path too .  Ill continue to open her up at my dusk, thats about 1100Z for the UA/RA's friends, and if anyone else wants to stoke her up...

136.318 to 320 dot 120 slow (slowing it down)

Hi Laurence,
Thanks for watching last night, but I am not so sure that there was nothing from me. Have a look at your trace at 21:00
I see what might be the last 3 elements of "C". The freq is right, also the freq shift. The element length is also right (middle dash attenuated)
and the timing is pretty good. I started transmitting at 20:00 the sequence AQC taking 67 secs. thus the start of  the last char "C" would be
just under an hour from the start. Mebbe wishful thinking !
Can't get on tonight but will try again whenever you are watching. (120 sec slow is a good option and the equipment can cope)
What we need of course is a "lift" like we used to get, but with the present quiet Sun, not likely I guess.
Thanks for your concern re. my health, I am battling on.
73 Laurie.

Thanks for the signals Gents - nothing seen of you last night Laurie.
 
Reasonable DFCW signals from WPF just above you, but QRN wasnt helping. Ill run it again tonight 138.318/320 dot 90 slow Eu or Asia wants to try.
 
 Noise peaks last night -70dBm  which is very similar levels to Singapore but the QRN duty cycle is reduced.
 
Around 30 days more ops from here before we have to pull the plug.
 
Laurence, Sunny and Blue skied morning Bohai Bay China

OK Laurence,
I will beacon again from 19:00 UTC until about 22:00 UTC
Freq 136.320 kHz. DFCW, element length 240 secs. (Dashes 0.15hz low ) This is going to stretch my un-ovened master
Xtal somewhat, but expected drift not more than 0.1Hz down.
Message "A Q C" repeated at 70mins intervals.
Not at home Sat. night so all rests on tonight.
