Hi CO guys,
The high bands maybe dead but the Low Bands are still OK..
i need some Daytime CO reception reports of the RW LF Beacon...
The 'RW' Beacon, WA2XRM, is sending 'RW' in CW at 20 wpm on 480 kHz
continiously all day today, 12/16/06.
The Beacon is running 125W to a 30 foot vertical in Colorado Springs.
You might have to disconnect your tuner and hook on your biggest antenna
to your receiver to hear the weak CW signal.
You can optimize your antenna system by tuning in the airport beacon "CO"
on 407 kHz.
Lamp dimmers and computer power supplies can also cause a lot of noise
that will mask out low frequency signals.
Night time transmissions are 3 minutes long on the hour and at the half,
(Starting at xx:00 to xx:03 minutes and again at xx:30 to xx:33 minutes
synchronized with WWV) from 0000z to 0700z.
Please send reports to w0rw at aol.com.
