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

["Markus Vester" <markusvester@aol.com>]

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

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...
