RE: LF: RE: 74.5495 was looking good... CFH and Loran-C

[Bob Raide <rjraide@hotmail.com>]

Markus;
Last nights event may have been an anomaly regarding Hartmut's grabber or just a long deep fade.  I noticed Henny's captures this morning showed no great signal strengths but signals that were certainly within normal levels for some nights. 
I see also that Dex's signal was showing up later in the morning that has been normal as of late.  I'll just let things ride next time and things may come back on their own.
Bob

Both CHF 73.6 kHz and Loran Wildwood 100 kHz happened to be on air and were recorded here all through last night:

df6nm.bplaced.net/LF/74kHz/plot_131106_0805.png

http://df6nm.de/LoranView/LoranGrabber.htm

Going by these plots / traces, the intense solar x-ray event at 22:12 appeared to have no adverse effect on transatlantic LF propagation. This is not surprising as none of the path was in sunlight at the time.

 

On the other hand, today's M 3.8 event around 13:46 punched a deep and very conspicuous notch into all the daytime European Loran traces.

John and Jim;
That event you report John certainly did in LF.  Stefan on 137 has no decodes outside of Europe/UK this day. 
Maybe 600 meters not effected? Bob

Jim;
Did you look at Hartmut's grabber?
Just before I started transmitting there are these big blotches that look like noise of some kind.

Bob,

 

This is puzzling; it doesn’t seem to be attributable to any of the usual suspects , including Dst indices, terminator, equipment.

 

Atypical in many ways from historical trends of your signal.

 

Watching with interest!

Looked like all of a sudden at around 2350 my transmitter blew up!  But transmitter still at full smoke just no propagation-Bob WG2XRS/4...
