[Lowfer] SAQ Test Transmission 02/06 @ 10:00 UTC

[Howell, Laurence (Shanghai/Singapore)]

24Khz NAA is just a couple of dB above noise here in Singapore on a
typical morning, the QRN being the limiting factor. Nothing from SAQ
from here either so far but the ionosphere is just a little hot

Sigs at 14.9, 16.4, 18.1, 18.3, 18.6, 19.8, 20.3 20.9, 21.1, 22,2, 23.4,
24.0 25.0 on the SDR/probe this morning as well as Alphas.

LF long haul not brilliant at the moment but DCF39 138.83 sitting at S7
1 hour before my dawn. Any BCST/Mil LF stations active on the west coast
at the moment chaps?

   Laurence 9V1 LF

   Steve - as a test how well can you hear NAA on 24.0 kHz? 
NAA is running 2MW into a highly efficient top-loaded vertical supported
by 26 1000' towers from Cutler, Maine.
NAA runs 24x7 and should be many many dB louder than SAQ! 

  A 160 inverted-L is far from an ideal VLF antenna - if you do decide
to use it bypass the matching network that you use on 160.
