LF, Thanks to Eddie (Northampton), Roger (nr Cambridge) and Paul (Todmorden) for the reports and screen shots. The kite is still aloft despite nearly snagging a nearby tree several times. The wind is gusting and changing direction quite rapidly which is causing big fluctuations in aerial current. The max current is about 0.25A min about 0.15A I estimate the aerial height as being between 40 - 50m (occasionally down to 15m!) with 70m of total wire run out. Provided the wind doesn't shift too far to the East (where there's danger of snagging house TV aerials) and the kite doesn't break free I'll leave the set up as it is. 73 Chris G3XIZ --- On Sat, 2/4/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: LF: VLF - G3XIZ - transmitting now To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, 2 April, 2011, 9:10 My Grabber :- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23312120/zjo_grab.jpg Now on DFCW600 4.5mHz where Chris is showing 10dB above the noise floor. The best signal yet. N.B There is a frequency step in the display, it is not Chris sending DFCW it is my end. 73 Eddie G3ZJO On 02/04/2011 08:44, [email protected] wrote: Chris is a good signal with me 16dB above the noise floor in 424uHz. 73 Eddie G3ZJO On 02/04/2011 07:43, Chris Osborn wrote: LF, I have been transmitting since 05.02Z and have managed to get my kite aerial flying since 06.15 The supporting pole is bending at an alarming angle so I may lose the kite soon !
