Hi All,
Just a line or two for the followers of the
G4JNT 505.7kHz beacon to explain the erratic signal & noise levels recently
on the beacon grabber chart.
Over the past few days I have been working
on my antenna system. This was to carry out repairs & improvements to the top
load on my LF/MF vertical since the damage due to the gales in the early part
of the year.
The raising & lowering etc of the mast
& antenna has had an adverse effect on the Mini-Whip active antenna used
for the reception of the beacon which is also installed on the mast.
The work is now completed & I feel that
anyone who is following the beacon data chart will now see an un-interrupted
chart apart from the times when I use the LF/MF antenna for my own transmitting
arrangements. This is usually announced on the grabber page.
73,
Gary - G4WGT - IO83QO.
