[Lowfer] TAG WOLFing

[John Andrews]

Lowfer TAG on 185.800 kHz from Raymond, ME is on the air in WOLF mode. I 
may need to play with it some more, but it should basically be on the 
air for the winter (unless Mother Nature intervenes).

Good news/bad news: The WOLF part of the equation appears to be running 
solidly, with the transmitter within 0.01 Hz of 185.800, and the keying 
timing is close to perfect. The bad news is that I gave up some 
efficiency by using #12 wire for the loop antenna. If this new setup 
survives the winter, I will try putting up the old RG-8 next year, and 
using the shield as the antenna conductor. That stuff is pretty heavy, 
and the big pine that holds up one corner is right on the lake edge, and 
sways a lot in the breezes.

My guess is that this will be a dead-of-winter thing for those outside 
of New England, but radio is full of surprises. Reports are always welcome.

For those new to WOLF, the program remains available at:

I can offer advice on determining your actual receiver frequency and 
your computer's sound-card sampling rate. For the folks who were 
successful with EbNaut, this ought to be duck soup.
