Horst,

 

At 505.18 .. I hope  not  hihi  as the  uk  band  stops at  504

 

if you  have a  bfo  , that's  all  you  need  , just set  for  1500 Hz audio  tone ,

Hello,

I have no receiver for SSB on 500kHz. But I could see (and hear) a trace at 505,18 kHz several times today at about 15 UTC.

I installed the program and heard the signal from my soundcard in different modes. I do not think, there ist a mode that makes a signal with just one frequency. But don't beat me: As I do not konow much about ROS I am not sure about that.

Maybe it was your signal. So have a look.

JO30OT, RX:selective level meter Präcitronic MV-62, T-Antenna 10h/20t with L for 500kHz.

Hi Graham, Rik, LF,

Thanks to all for the reports & feedback.

Graham, the correct text string is :-

TEST G4WGT IO83QO

So the 22:20 & 22:25 frames were the correct full text. The 22:30 frame appears to have decoded the space as a full stop (period) symbol.

But very good results considering the method.

Rik, it seems that the majority of the version updates are to implement users suggestions, so being a new mode there have been lots of ideas from operators of ROS.

Using the  Dutch  web-sdr  about  400  miles  , ROS decoded this  ......  2230  looks like the  full text string ? no  audio  from the  speaker or as far as I could  see  no trace on the  waterfall  .......

LF,

Not able to reply to any calls from now but the beacon will continue until about 2300utc.

I will resume tests tomorrow (Friday) night & increase power for greater distance.

Hi LF,

I am increasing the PTT loop timer to provide a 5 minute increment of the beacon.

This will give operators lots of time to create a reply or call. My beacon will stop & notify me if a reply or call is made.
