Re: LF: VLF G3XIZ - QRT

Chris,

No copy over here in Burwell: I think what I saw was just band noise. There are several things to improve here still (antenna, preamp, filters, Spectrum Lab settings). I even tried screwing the bandwidth of the Spectrum Lab system right down (as per Stefan's settings) but this was at about 2210z when you said you had to close.  This all goes to prove that Stefan's efforts (and those who successfully copy him) takes a lot of work. 

Did anyone see anything from G3XIZ?

Tomorrow I hope to be out doing more earth mode tests on 8.760kHz but only expecting local copy at 5W out.  It will be some time before I get anything significant radiated.

Chris - we'll try again soon.

Thanks for looking Roger and chaps but game's over for tonight.

I've insulation breakdown somewhere in the aerial circuit and I can't fix it until daylight.

Maybe try again next weekend.

Just swapped from the loop to the earth electrode - band noise stronger - and there may be a hint of a signal on Chris's frequency.

Have been looking for 20 minutes so far but nothing seen from Chris at about 34km distance.

Will continue to look for the next 2 hours.
