Hi Andy and thanks for the report and gratifying info on the stability.
It seems to be working quite well and the frequency reports are
very good, given that the DDS resolution is about 15 mHz.
To Jay, thanks for the info on your RX ant. This explains why the sigs
are not seen sometimes, but there is still some directionality with
the wire (assuming the tower to be omni). The wire actually appears to
have some gain towards the east, but is weaker than the tower towards
the west. The wire is also lower than the tower.
Graham, G0NBD, could you suggest a good QRG for OP32 now that the TX
is no longer rock bound on 137.777 kHz as it has been for the past decade.
Incidently, last month marked the 10th anniversary of the reception by
Alan, G3NYK of my QRSS75 on 137.777 kHz. This was the first TA signal
received from NL Canada. The source was an old Peggelsender running on
13.7777 kHz divided down by a pair of 7490 decade counters. It was not
very stable and so was replaced by a 13.7 MHz xtal in a ocxo.
The TX will be on again tonight with hourly QRSS30 starting 0000 utc.

Hello Joe,
No problem. As usual, your QRSS signal gave here a strong trace this morning
with peak around 0230 TU. Stable signal better than .005 Hz / 2 hours, no
chirp.
