No problem Pete
Seems activity on 500k mid summer
is higher than mid winter , over 16 stations
showing up to day , and one new station
to MF on my decode list 19:34 500 G3YXM Op4 +2 dB : )
Ae system is working well , top
of my loaded wire L is bent back on
its self , not convinced its the best arrangement , now
the mast has been replaced and the blocks
are free, I can try a few changes , see what
happens , luckily with about 150 watts I can
decode via the delft web-sdr , so thats a
good remote f/s meter hi

Thanks for all the info Graham locally we have Chris G3XIZ on and now
me it only leaves Dennis MoJXM who I am sure will get into this, I mailed him
today ........... via this medium.
The Rig I described it is capable of much higher power
(depending upon output FET currently an IR840?) with increase in PA voltage it's
currently got 12volts applied. Because I use 7812 voltage regulators for the
logic stages they will only stand about 25volts max, with this rig, limits the
power to around 30 to 40 Watts O/P. Suppose I could separate the supply to the
PA and get a lot more from the device I supose.
The output goes straight into the aerial 100mm diameter transformer
via a short coax lead then to 2 link turns, then from the "Top"
of the transformer to the up lead which goes through teflon insulating
washers throught the wall and straight up to
the 8inch ribbed glass insulator about 35 feet then on a slope to a
24foot mast (soon to increased to 35feet). Tuned against several long earthing
wires.

Ok Pete,
These are all the decodes I have , I was using the
Skanti r5003 Rx with 40 ft alloy
scaffold pole vertical , no atu , only
the pre-selector in the rx , fed vis abt 90 feet
of rg213 coax
Good signal for 10 watts , just on the
edge for the qso mode , at -20 dB minimum ,
but 15 watts would do the job !
As I say its the only plug-and-play
data mode , just plug in place of the CW key ( the
development was based on the racal ma1723 ,
in CW mode at 20 wpm as the maximum
keying speed and envelope shape)

Hi Graham
Yes very pleased with it so far I will change power soon trying to
make up a PWM cct to have a continuously variable power on the
rig (GW3UEP) Class E Fet O/P stage Gate.
PC not crashed .... wait for it! .... for a bit now actually done nothing to
stop it....... weird.
I have only just got my head around opera...... thought it was
a linear mode but this makes sense for LF comms. much more like a CW transmission which I
like.
Thanks for all the info on opera btw.

Wow and that was just using the Op
w/fall ! You could reduce to 2 watts
and still decode !
Glad the system is working for you

Thanks Paul
Graham is right about QRG.
My PC keeps crashing so may go back to QRSS3 using my HB PIC keyer
(not affected by RF) on the same QRG. Thanks fer looking.

could be 503.275 ? +/- a
bit !

What is the actual tx qrg then?
Just for exactly looking if the signal is visible at
all.

Hi All
Please report my beacon on 501.59kc/s USB RX dial
setting. Temporary QRG.
