Hi Wolf,
Thanks for your efforts. The beacon is still running but reception
reports are getting fewer as the QRN increases.
Indeed, I got a couple of traces on the "right frequency" but no
callsign decoded in recent weeks. The DX season seems to be over now,
and there's almost no dark path. Even the EU beacons are hardly visible
on the Twente web sdr most of the night.
I've been playing with Spectrum Lab and am much more impressed with it
than my abilities... Using the SAQ receiver user preset to listen below
10 kHz has produced strange results. It seems I am confused with the
filter/injection frequency combination and the red, blue and magenta
diamonds below the RF and audio windows.
Oh well, the diamonds - in old versions, they were the only controls on
the frequency scale, in fact they were 'freely programmable' to control
generator frequencies, frequency shifts, filter bandwidths.
In recent versions you don't need them anymore (reasons below) so if
they are still visible after loading old configurations, simply turn
them off: Double click any of those diamonds, then (on the "Markers"
panel) select "hide all markers" and they will be gone.
For narrow-band listening, use the filter controls (center frequency,
bandwidth, zero beat frequency) on the frequency. These are visible by
default in most configurations, for example:
Select "Quick Settings"..."Other amateur radio modes"..."Narrow CW
filter, adjustable..".
How to control the filter (incuding the frequency shift) is explained here:
http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/speclab/filters.htm#filter_controls_on_main_freq_scale
In recent versions (V2.79), most configurations already use these
controls but maybe the old 'SAQ Receiver' is not one of them.
To listen to 8.2 kHz, just shift the filter's passband (center) to that
frequency. It works almost the same way as the web-SDRs.
All the best,
Wolf DL4YHF .
This is a silly question but could you tell me how to listen on 8.2 kHz?

Hello Joe,
QRN was terrible here, even though the source was way in the east
(over Poland).
Got a few patches on the "right frequency" but the noiseblanker could
not pull the signal out.
I will try again tonight if you are still transmitting.

Wolf DL4YHF .

Hi Wolf,
Thanks for taking a watch. Good luck with the device and conditions.

Thanks for the information Joe. I will look for your signal later
tonight, testing a new noiseblanker which will possibly make it
into a "hardware device" soon. QRN very strong here now, and it
does not calm down quickly after sunset.
Cheers,
Wolf DL4YHF .

Jean and Group,
Thank-you for the report, Jean. It's weak but its a signal!
The beacon will remain on the air over the weekend.

Hello Joe and group,
Joe, I received a little signal on 477.7 kHz two times during the
night.
The antenna is L inverted with 15 m wire and adaptation coil.
I think it is your transmission (time in UTC+2):

Bonjour J-P et Andy, Group,
Thank-you for the captures - conditions were not so good last night.
The beacon will remain in operation over the weekend and hopefully
conditions will improve.
