Re: LF: QRSS60 tests on 136.172

Mike - there is still no path over the Pole with this mornings Aurora doing a 
very good impression of the opening titles of the original Dr Who series with 
globs of light coming in the from the North and pulsing Southwards bright 
enough to make you want to duck.

Im exercising the Eu/vK loop at  midpower 1Kw TPO on dfcw 137.776 for a while 
to add my bit in global warming the D layer and worms. Its not going far im 
sure given the Solar. New Hans GPS module (was using the earliest slowest gps 
before) driving the Ultimate 2 driving 2 modules of Decca into 500 ft perimeter 
loop 006/186 degT  65ft high, 9ft low return.

Cant see dcf39 more then a couple of dBs above noise- not good.

Cheers
