Thank's  Vernon

 

Well  ,  I'm   sure  your  'only'  700 ft  wire  would  do  just  fine  !

 

Stefan  has  managed  a few  decodes  into  the  USA   using  Opera   32  and the  last  using Opera 8 on   136 ,  most  are  surprised  that  decodes are  being  made  this  time of the  year , Jay  also  crossed  the  other way with  1 watt  erp on 136 

 

As long as the  PC is  reasonable  , you  can  run  2  sessions  of  Opera   one  set  Op8  the  other  Op32  from the  same  sound  card  , with the  Rx set  136.000  dial  usb

 

But  at the  moment  OP32 seems to  be the  choice ., giving   decodes  to  approx  -40 dB  s/n   , I would  think there  will  be  activity  over  the  w/e  , if you  can set  up  Rx + Op  decode  on 136.000  im sure you  will  have  some  customers  from  either  side  of the  pond !

Hi Graham and all..

 

I can have a listen over the W/E if someone wants to try for a TA...it's still very early for me in that I am still in summer mode here and doing absolutly nothing with radio      I leave all that for the better late fall and winter conditions.

 

The only antenna I have up now is a 700' or so longwire elevated on average about 30'....it works very well...everything else is packed away for the summer.

 

So let me know....
