PS - Another sanity check is to look at grabber 2 and the day long
wideband plot...
7X/DL is coming in NOW and visible on 153 plotter and daylong wideband
plot...

Hi Stefan
I just got your reference in your last upon reviewing the 153 plot in
detail this evening.
I agree there appears to be a trace on 153000.0Khz that could be
either or both of 7X and DL.
I have no explanation for this other than maybe solar activity as it
is way early compared to last year's data...
Hmmmm....!
Too bad Mal just doesn't have a decent enough station to make it
here... ;-)

Hello Scott,
Thanks for the very interesting information.
Can you explain why DLF or the algerian stn is almost 50 dB S/N but
DCF39 is not visible at all?
Do you expect a beacon transmission from Germany could be
successfully received at VE7TIL?
On your advice / request i can immediately start beacon
transmissions, each night if wanted, no problem at all.
My variometer is not automatic so far and usually i resonate the
antenna to 137.7 kHz. Thus, i can QSY say +- 70 Hz but not much more.
I'm afraid people become angry if i would TX in the TA band but i
cannot QSY to 136.177 in the moment.
So, if you would like to test with me, maybe you can run a temporary
extra SL instance on a frequency of your choise arround 137.7. I
would then try to leave a trace on your grabber, beeing an optimist,
you know ;-)
Would use a mode of your choice (DFCW or QRSS=
So tell me if you want to try!
Looking forward to the season.

Hi All
After a computer crash, I needed to restore some corrupted files on
the dedicated grabber computer. This is done and the grabber is
again posting to the internet.
Over the last two days the trans-Pacific path has dramatically
reopened for the first time in months. Condx appear good! See the
153KHz Plot for just how good! Keep a close eye here as we approach
Fall as the EU dx will start to appear. Usually the Algerian
station appears first...
PS - I'm stilled vexed 18 hours a day with interference from a local
illegal grow-op. The interference shouldn't affect my ability to
hear too badly its just more irritating than anything else... The
residence has been identified and the police have received a
complaint so it should disappear along with a tenant in my area soon...
VLF grabber and audio stream remain active.
