Re: LF: 500kc beacons and grabbers....

Graham,

 

Thanks Graham.  See my post to Gary for an explanation of what I had in mind.

 

Please note - it was not my intent to have a whinge - I was just puzzled more than anything else...

 

It is all a bit academic anyway - going on past behaviour it will be another decade before we get access (if at all) to 600M down here.    The Kiwis are streets ahead wrt to getting new bands approved as usual.

 

Thanks.

You spotted the  deliberate  mistake ...  the grabber page on the  group is sort of maintained .. but  everything is running  on a as and when basis  . I added the pages when they where live .. but  as you  can see  .. not  all are now  running ...and as for the  beacons .. e'rrrrr   well  permanent beacons  are not  allowed .. except G4JNT who is now running  dual mode .(need to  get the  final power level for  wspr).. and so on into the  night  ..

 

If anyone has a live 500 grabber that they would  like to  list  on the page , please  email the  web link and I will add  it  to the 'top'  of the   page .. or if you  find one  let 'us' know !

 

tnx - Graham

G'day Gary,

 

There currently seems to be a rend in the time-space continuum here down under in VK-land....

 

Apart from your site - for which I get a "can't connect".

 

From the links on the Google site I get the following results.

 

1. GM4SLV - last grab Jan 2009.

2. CT1DRP - last grab Nov 2008.

3. Hartmut Wolff - last grab Nov 2008.

4. GM4ISM - can't connect.

5. DF6NM - last grab May 2008.

6. RN3AGC - can't connect.

 

The only one that works is the http://www.wireless.org.uk/grab/ link.

 

What am I missing ?

Hi Steve,

A small list of grabbers on the UK500KHZ Group web site at :-

G'day All,

In an _expression_ of extreme optimism I am interested in getting details of 500kc beacons (preferably QRSS30 and slower) in Europe.    To get real-time confirmation of on-air status I am also looking for relevant local grabbers for those beacons.
