Pete,
Thats a bit of a xod ! , I was
sent a new net-gear modem when the BB was upgraded
to ADSL2 . but that was useless , any band
over 5/10 watts and the link
failed .. my previous router was a edimax,
which was fine on all bands, so , brought what looked to
be the adsl2 version .. with a valid FCC
stamp , everything back to normal ..except
80 mtrs .. for some reason 5/10 watts on 80 and
the link fails .. 500 on the other hand, no
problem even with the new 'dopple ganger pa'
running round 450 watts on 500 , the web link is
fine and can decode via the delft web-sdr during
the day.
I think 80 is just a
combination of unfortunate lengths and resonances
,after re-arranging the end of the top leg,
there is a lot of rf about at the pc
on 80 , could just be a floating feeder
..
Will take a look on 136 , see
if I can see anything ..

OK Graham
500 is dead around here I can't use it if I want what BT
laughably calls Broadband because 500 knocks it right out for days owing
to the very slow recovery time of their clapped out DSLAMs. However
136 seems OK at the current power level which is in the 50W region at
the moment. 138 being the notch between upstream and down stream ADSL
spectrum whereas 500 sits right in the middle of the down stream spectrum
and even a couple of Watts at the input terminals of the ATU completely
flattens it. It is seen as noise on the circuit which automatically
reduces data rate to maintain communication allbeit at a very slow speed.
Trouble is it just doesn't come right back up when the 500 signal goes off
it stays down for days so I complain then they switch it back up
again manually. Even spark transmissions from O/H11kV lines trigger
it.
I see DI2AM (505.180+/-) coming in well on Gary's grabber and
Stefan on 136.1725+/- also, so things aren't too bad at the moment.
Ok Pete ..never had much luck
on 137 ..but 500 is well down at
the moment ..

Thanks for the report Jim
Have raise the antenna by 1.5m. But not as good into
G4wgt as I was a few months ago. Could be conditions? QRT
now. 73 es GL Pete M0FMT IO91UX47VN --- On

Dear Pete, LF
Group,
Your (M0)FMT QRSS beacon was "O" copy
about 5uV/m here near Hatfield at about
1630utc.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
