Re: LF: VLF - G3XIZ - Weekend transmissions

[Chris Osborn <g3xiz@yahoo.co.uk>]

Thanks for reports so far.

Transmissions started at 06.00Z on 8.976 661 6 kHz using my OCXO as reference.
Unfortunately wind conditions at present prevent balloon or kite supported aerials.
I have 0.2A into my 40m inverted 'L'  - height 10m.

I shall keep the TX running for several hours.

Murphy's Law struck here overnight, a power outage closed down my computer for me and lost all but my last grab of Uwe timed at 05:20UTC.

Now with everything re started we are awaiting the waterfalls. Chris is 6dB above noise peaks in 424uHz, Grabber is showing my 600 split window at the moment with Chris' signal just visible.
