Hi Chris
Bad luck about your OP transformer. I
can still see a weak signal on your frequency which goes off when I switch off
power to miniwhip. The railings interference comes and goes, never
the same. Maybe it is the wicked Met office trying to upset us,
hi. I still think you are near to success, but suggest next
time try it out without Met notification but with our two 2m link
established.

Hello Dennis,
Once again thanks for your efforts.
I had a bad evening on Monday as sparking in the aerial circuit caused my
valuable output transformer to go u/s.
Heaven only knows now where I'll get a replacement
It had been behaving fine all day until H-Hour - Sod's law!
Ok on your TB absence; I gave radio a miss last night
and am collecting my thoughts and enthusiasm.

Hi Chris
Conditions for me last night were terrible, with
0.5 inch railing right across the VLF spectrum, and without the watwerfall
screen I would have seen nothing. However there was a
continuous white line down the waterfall on the frequency you stated, but was
still there when I switched the power off the miniwhip, though slightly
reduced. I decided it must be generated locally, perhaps by the
computer. When I switched on this morning, the screen was nice and
clear, also the signal which might have been yours was missing. My
feelings now are that it was possibly your signal amongst the
crap. This afternoon the railings are back, nearly blasting away
the alpha sigs. but no sign of your white line. My problem is
that I find it difficult to identify any coding which may be on.
Like I said before, if you could regularly key it on/off every
few seconds, it would help, even if occasionally giving an identification
blast to please the met office.
I don't know where the railings are coming from,
obviously some blasted equipment nearby, maybe a large television set, which
would relate to the times seen.
I shall not be on TB tonight as I am expecting a
short visit from my Penzance son.
