Hi Doug,

Yes it's a pain when it does that, you should set the Windows Update criteria to notify you when updates are available so you can install & reboot at a more convenient time.

Well I hope everyone had good luck last night. I got one screen capture, then sometime shortly after I went to bed, my computer did a windows update and restarted itself. :-(

 

But I did get one screen of your DFCW Stephan, and perhaps a bit of a trace of another station below you.

 

Despite the clear skies here in TN, my S-meter is hitting 20db over S9 right now, so there must be lightning somewhere fairly close.

Well, off to work!

Hi Doug,

I have to smile. It's actually an exciting night.
There is stronger QSB but nice signal levels between that. Also Mike/G3XDV is transmitting and well above the noise. I just saw him on the VE1VDM grabber.
Vernon reported i am audible in Nova Scotia, so that's OK ;-)
The farer to the west, the closer comes the path to the auroral oval where a lot seems to go on these days. But the signal made it to UA0SNV again, just got that screenshot from Vasily: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19882028/LF/capt2229.PNG
It's one step to JA7NI from there and it is a very good indicator for possible DX...

73, GL, Stefan

PS: I switched to DFCW-90 a while ago. Your settings are fine. 90 dot normal would be an alternative.

Switched to QRSS60 (slow).

I'll be watching.
That gives me an entire 6Hz of bandwidth in my ARGO window, centered on 136.172kHz.

No, QRSS-60. I could also switch to DFCW-90 which may be a bit more efficient.

Look at UA0SNV, propagation seems to be better than i expected :-) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47550836/UA0SNV_LF_Grabber.html
