Hi Marco,
nice to hear/read from you.
I cant see anything wrong in your settings.
but "0,95mHz" seems to be vy wide.
did you see my tranmissions on 8970Hz?
could it be a QRM carrier?
may we see a screenshot?
I switch my transmission off now at 1618UTC. can you cnfm?

Hello Uwe,

 

just switched on since few minutes on this side, and probably made something wrong...

Ant miniwhip like 10m from the roof (abr 45mabove ground)

RX SpecLab using configuration "8.97kHz 0,95 mHz 300s MSK locked" I moved to 8270 Hz changing the the "center frequency" to 8270Hz being no able to QSY in other way (is that correct??)

The SR calbrator is moved to 19580Hz GBZ.

So this is the setup and see a signal just on 8270,0 Hz which is close to 20dB over the noise....ok this is the dreamer band but I can't believe I'm seeing your signal...

Can anybody give a suggestion?

 

73, Marco IK1HSS

OK. OK. dreamers, the TX is on the air since 1309UTC.
QRG: 8270.000Hz.
WX: continuous rain but not so strong.
when ever the order comes, I can switch to Op-4H.

Paul Nicholson put forth the important argument that we'd better stay away from 8280 because it's a multiple of 60 Hz. Mains harmonics tend to drift a bit with the line frequeny so further away is better.

 

Thus I retract my preposition, and suggest instead to stay with the original 8270 Hz.

 

Uwe, go ahead!

 

Best 73,

Markus

 

PS Direct harmonics from 16.67 Hz are relatively weak here, even though the railway is only 400 m away. It looks more like carriers from switchmode power conversion units (eg near 8 kHz), accompanied by the telltale 33 Hz spaced sidebands. Unfortunately these frequencies are not easily predictable.

8970 is well placed with respect to harmonics of
both 50 and 60Hz.

8270/8275 not so good in a 60Hz region.

8124 to 8126 would be a good range, considering
harmonics of 16.67Hz, 50Hz, and 60Hz.

Let me know what is decided, I will switch my spectrogram
over to the new band.
