Re: LF: What does /L after the call sign mean? TNX

[M0FMT <m0fmt@yahoo.co.uk>]

Wow thank you all,  I knew you wouldn't let me down.

 

Garry, Graham and John thanks John initially I had it as /P but it repeats every 10 / 15 mins and I verified it as /L so Garry's comment makes sense. I am hoping it's my RX,  its a lightly converted PMR which didn't aught have image issues. If not I thought the RSGB had unilaterally changed the band plan on 4m there is hardly anywhere that isn't designated a data frequency now. But I will keep my opinions this time to my self as it's not an LF issue.

 

So thanks every one for yeoman support.

Yes

 

There  are  a couple  of  4 mtr  gateways in Merseyside,    70.260 MHz   is  listed  AM/FM calling  frequency ?  other  frequency's   are  listed as  internet  gateways .. can you see  the  call  listed on echo link ?

 

I found  someone  pirating a  silent key  call  on the  local  4 mtr one ..interesting  point as the  keeper was quite antagonistic when i pointed out  he was relaying  a  pirate transmission , each to  his own I suppose ?

Thank you Jim and David

 

These noisy beacon things just pop up all over the place now on VHF and probably HF too if I listened.

 

I am hoping it is just an artifact of the receiver and not actually on 70.260mHz but it was loud and zero beat with Dave M1CLK whom I worked earlier today.

 

I can't find any reference to it doing a search, these self publicising beacons tend to have massive web sites but not this one .......... hmmmm.

 

Thanks again anyway.

Hi all

 

What does /L after the call sign mean?

 

I am monitoring 70.260 mHz AM call and op frequency and am getting G8SJP/L in cw like some beacon mode. Have the RSGB stuffed the band plan on 4m again?

 

Any ideas please?
