[Lowfer] 495 Questions

[Laurence KL7UK]

Yep /7 is John - I was running the Bartlesville snapper at dot 20 slow ( so I can get both signals on one screen) so Ralphs WSPR appears as a 4-5Hz wide signal band, with a long term wavyyness to it :-))  and Pat was a clean QRSS - Ive cleared out the buffer so didnt look at /6 coding but Pat was around 027 up till 0500 UTC - 

Last night was the first night since the 20th when I didnt decode or even detect a signature from either station in Alaska - but dem pesky Protons are making a mess of the path. Hope we dont have too much precipitation but it may mean a week or more - I also lost most of the HF signals over the Pole - but there are some still this morning so thats better than I thought.

Coming up to Paola in the middle of week John - doing a microwave survey of the area so getting out of Dodge for a few days....

Hifer signals just coming out of the noise visually at the moment - -- - - - - -
