Dear dreamers, LF,
I am pleased to announce that both Gerhard OE3GHB
and Ossi OE5ODL were visible on my VLF grabber again today.
Gerhard appeared on 8970.04 between 9:30 and 12 UT, Ossi just below 8969.90
from 14:30 to 17 UT, with traces confirmed by comparison to
their local grabbers. Both were using their LF antennas at home,
and the distances covered were 413 km from Gaweinstal and 221 km from
Schildorn.
The first appearance of OE5ODL in Heidelberg and
Nuernberg happened on Nov. 27th, when he was using a 90 m helium balloon topload
extension. OE3GHB was first visible in Nuernberg last Tuesday (Dec.
28th), with frequency, drift rate and times of
operation positively verified a posteriori. Additional transmissions from
OE3GHB in the meantime (last Friday and Saturday) were not detected here,
presumably due to higher QRN. However a trace has been picked up by Lubos
OK2BVG at about 40 km.
Best regards,
Markus

Subject: LF: Trace on 8970.05 Hz
After resetting my VLF grabber display from
8972 to the usual 8970 Hz, it showed a weak trace on 8970.05 after 12
UT, with slight downward drift.
Could there be a
connection to a whiteout on the OE3GHB grabber after 12:20
?
Best regards,
Markus (DF6NM)
