Hello Joe,

No problem about the time - I will let the PC run overnight, taking periodic snapshots of the spectrogram.

Just checked the frequency (using one of the few remaining MF broadcasters here, btw they will all be QRT very soon), and found the trusty old IC706 is off frequency by only 1.2 Hertz on 549 kHz. Rx now back on 477.700 kHz....

Good luck and have a nice weekend,
  Wolf DL4YHF .

Hi Wolf,

Thanks for taking a listen.

I do not think you are alone in having trouble hearing the sigs.
As of 2317 I had 2 calls from local stations.  Since then,
just QRN on 80 and usb squeaks on 40m.

I will try for some QRSS100 at 0130 when the event is over.
Hope this is not too late for you.

Not a trace in the spectrogram on 477.7 kHz here yet ... but that would have been very optimistic, considering the QRN.

Only "RP" (beacon) happily beeping away .

A minute-long continuous carrier later at night may have the chance to get through and give us an idea about the signal level... and how many dBs are missing for audible copy ;-)

Sorry Christian, that should have read 'In 4 minutes'.
The beacon has been on since 2130 and I've been listening
on 80 and 40 metres.

Merci Andy and all who reported.
Happy to hear that the sigs could actually be heard. We will have
to try for a 2 way in winter.

Will try some CW tonight on 477.7 kHz in preparation of
tomorrow night's event. Reports welcomed.

You see that this morning, ���16 dB is great, and 569 by ears. I was using my large K9AY as usual, without preamplifier and the IC7200 with the common 50 Hz DSP filter. In center of my large city, the local QRN is moderate on LF but high on MF..

About your CW test TM with the two other stations, 478.477 is a good QRG. But for the x-band QSO, I am sorry : 3562 is in the QRP segment, and 7062 is in the LSB segment. So I���ll cannot answer you. Sure your signal be audible on MF CW, as usual here around 0300 TU.

Bet 73 and luck.

Andy F6CNI.

Thank-you Markus. The TX was running about 4 amps to the 100m wire.
Your summer antenna, rx and opds are working very well indeed.

Has my oscillator drifted down a bit? The DDS is set for 137.477.

Cheers
Joe

Hi Joe,

of course we're watching! Think that I actually caught each of your Op transmissions between midnight and 7:33 UT. Average-power SNR's were in the minus fourties; might have really been a bit better but I'm still on the low and noisy "summer" RX antenna.

Best 73,

Hi Graham,

Thanks for this and also the report from SV8RV. I was wondering
if anyone was listening to my opera... Anyway, I'm still tinkering
with the dds/ttl/cmos stuff and have a carrier on 478.477 which hopefully will be singing on the air after the CW event tomorrow (TX 477.7 RX 3562 7062
starting 2130 utc).

The 2200m Opera is about to begin soon (2045 UTC).

Joe
