Hi Stefan
How do I mange this, I put an RX on air, 8.9kHz and 136kHz and every TX
in Europe blows up.
Nothing technical re the Loop performance but for the first time I can
hear static which was pulsing the AGC, which is now off. I have received
you well on my 500kHz loop which is the same size, less turns, and of
course more C to tune to 136kHz, the new one has the edge.
My 'omnidirectional' antenna would be my 40m Doublet, this is very poor
as it comes near to the house and picks up mains noise and the dreaded
Panasonic Plasma TV, it is 3 S points down on the new Loop at this time
with no Panasonic QRM..

Hi Eddie,
Unfortunately my PA (or rather the VFO) seems to cause problems, so i
cannot transmit today :-( I can remote control the TX but will be in
Heidelberg again in some days. So it takes some time to see my signal
again on 137 :-(
Anyway, i have the new PA here and will finish (test) it in the coming
days. Then i expect less problems and a stronger signal.
Vy interesting about the RX loop. Another project here too. But first
i come back to VLF with the fixed antenna...
Tell me more about the gain compared to your omnidirectional antenna,
pse. One day we will try a CW contact, don't we? :-)
So maybe you'll get a test signal by other LF TX stations these days.
Good luck!

Hi Stefan
I would welcome some signals from DL today (02.06.2011.)
I am testing a new Loop,10t of 0.9mm 46 strand Litz wire fixed tuned
with polystyrene capacitors 800mm x 800mm for 136kHz outside. It
seems to perform very nicely.
136kHz are the only active Views on my Grabber at the moment.

The coupling is by another very pleasing 'Revenge'.
A CFL energy saving lamp in the house decided to cause QRM on 136kHz,
I stripped the lamp and used the toroid.

Hello Martin,
I'm calling CQ in QRSS-10 in the moment but probably you are already
in bed ? ;-)
Tomorrow is a free day for most in Germany and so there may be some
more activity. BTW, are you QRV, TX wise?
Best 73, Stefan/DK7FC

136 seems to be very clean and quiet this evening.
Is anyone planning on any transmissions?
I can't see anyone at the moment.....
