VLF,

Transmission stopped arround 13:25 UTC due to upcoming strong winds and rain coming closer from 200 km distance SW now.
I hope to go on soon.
Thanks to all monitoring stations! Haven't expected that such good readability would be possible in this time of the year (remembering the 15th March 2010 ;-) ).

PS: LF, DK2TX is testing in QRSS-60 at 137.776 kHz, http://www.iup.uni-heidelberg.de/schaefer_vlf/DK7FC_LF_DX_Grabber.html Never seen him before.

VLF,

Now the TX is running. No HV problems this time. I'm running 500W. The coil current is close to 1A so the antenna current may be 850mA, 3 dB more than in november 2011.
The frequency is 8970.0050 Hz, "locked" to GPS within SpecLab.
I'm going to transmit a loooooooooong carrier until 9 UTC or so. Then i'll play arround a bit, depending on the results of local grabbers and activity.

Reports apprechiated.

I thought about giving WOLF10 (or 5) a try, as an exception. DF6NM would be the intended goal but everyone is invited to receive. If i will try WOLF then i have to use an unlocked frequency, i.e. just using the normal WOLF gui program. Anyway, at least no glitches on that 10 year old PC, hopefully.

PS: Odd, still 12 °C outside at 1 AM local...
