Re: LF: Who is transmitting on 8970.022 Hz??

Well done, Uwe. Congratulations as well from this end!

 

After seeing your trace appear in Heidelberg and Gaweinstal, I had switched the Nuernberg VLF grabber to 0.48 mHz resolution. I think that a faint line became visible between about 9 and 10:30 UT.

 

You seem to have a fair bit of wire up, so we may perhaps get an even stronger signal in the future? Regarding the garden work - just buy a pair of gloves ;-)

Hi all,

 

its no longer a secret :

Stefan and Markus found a carrier at 8970,022Hz on Stefans and Gerhards grabber and I had to confess that its origin is my QTH because the TX was switched on at 1740UTC yesterday and that matches the visibility of the carrier on Gerhards grabber.

 

My aerial: pse see

 

http://dj8wx-dl.de/hompage500kHz/TX%20equipment.htm

 

second last pic on the site. The 23m long wire has been lengthened by an other 20m.

The radiasls have a overall length of  500m.

 

I tried a measuring of the current between  the footpoint of the matching coils and the radials:

Sri, but the meter doesnt show more than 200mA and its far > than that.

 

The TX bumps 7,5A at 284Vpp (753Wrms) into the field coil of 134uH (Z 7,5 Ohm).

 

The diameter of the circuit single layer winding coils: on average 60cm.

inductivity: 245mH.

 

The generator is a homebrew BPU lf-exciter with the possibility of all usual kinds of modulations.

 

The class E PA makes 2,4kWrms on NF. I could get 1700Wrms out of this (misused) disco PA on 9kHz.

When I did so the consequence was:  One couldnt touch any garden hand tools or other things longer than 50cm.

Txing with 750W: My XYL doesnt shriek any more when working in the garden and touching p.e. the barrow.

 

Best regards

Uwe/dj8wx still txing a carrier on 8970,022Hz. In some days Ill send in qrs6000.

VLF,

Someone is transmitting on 8970.022 Hz, visible in my "DFCW-6000" window
and visible at OE3GHB! It is neither Markus nor Ossi nor Gerhard nor me,
so who is it??? :-)
Frequency is very accurate over time!

On 8969.97 i am doing a local test so pse don't wonder.
