Chris,

 

Tough luck with the Loading Coil. I'm really surprised that you didn't make 11 km...Markus managed 20km plus in his tests in October.

 

Nil desperandum!

At what time  did you turn off?

 

Take a look at http://www.g4jnt.com/DownLoad/XIZ_1.jpg  where there is just the faintest line at the right frequency - looking in a bandwidth of 0.05Hz.

 

(The other point labelled is wher ei inject a frequency 10Hz higher at the start to check frequency cal)

 

If it is genuine, and not just a spuron, then QRSS 60 would probably show results.

 

Its still running to see if that just-possible line has now clearly gone.

Thanks for your efforts chaps.

I had definite QRSS-3 confirmation from Dennis M0JXM at 1.5 km but Pete M0FMT at 11 km
had no copy.

I have developed an intermittent short-circuit problem with the loading coil and will QRT now.

I'll notify via the reflector when transmitting again.

Dear Chris, LF Group,

The VLF RX has been running since 1130 - Nothing seen yet.
