Eddie,

What i wanted to suggest: What about a loop as an alternative antenna? With 2 soundcards you could run 2 spectrograms comparing both antennas. You know the loop in my tree is a single turn loop with just 1.2m diameter out of copper tube which has 10mm diameter. It is a non resonated loop with a ferrite transformer (Al~10nH), i.e. 1 single primary turn and about 100 secondary turns connected to the preamp. It could help to reduce the QRN in summer. But maybe the QRM becomes even higher. On the other side you can eventually cancel out the QRM, maybe worth a try. Or go /p, e.g.. here: http://no.nonsense.ee/qth/map.html?qth=IO92MG54RP&from=IO92MG54MO :-)

Hi Stefan

Conditions are not as good during daylight as when you decided to give DFCW a try in 424 uHz. It will be interesting to see what happens during today.

There was a glitch also at the start from my end. When I arrived home the shack had been locked up and in full sunlight, soundcard error was around 3.7ppm, I decided that was maybe a bit near to 5ppm with the hottest day of the year in progress and upped the limit to 10ppm, not realising that SpecLab would do its funny little scroll forward trick.

Attached is a view of D K - with the gap produced by the scroll cut out. A pretty marginal D, it may have been compressed by the scroll forward, but it is there.

VLF,

Today, 12 UTC, i'm trying to leave my call on G3ZJOs 8270 Hz 424 uHz grabber. It may be visible on other spectrograms as well...
