[Lowfer] Lowfer KE

[KA4SEY]

Garry,Thank you for trying! I believe that's it. I'm still tweaking around with it so theres definitely some more improvements to be made. A few things I may do is check over my antenna for possible loose connections and maybe even try to make it taller. Its currently a 20 foot radiating wire with a 20 foot wide top hat with 4 evenly spaced wires. (Marconi T Antenna)I'm not sure if John can come up on his sensitivity, I was thinking that he told me his transmitter gets into his receiving setup but I may be wrong.  Thanks again,73,Kasey, KA4SEY

Using QRSS60 to boost the sensitivity all I saw was the merest of hints of a signal around 187227.7 Hz. That's consistent with what the grabber at http://jwhamer.me/grabber/ was showing, but since JH is at 1145 km and KE is at 996 miles the former should have been stronger than what was observed. Looks like it has a way to go to reach its potential.Incidentally, the grabber often shows KE strong, then dropping out before returning strong. This may be the result of a sensitivity setting in ARGO that's too low. It's currently just 31/100 whereas a value of 50/100 is what I generally use. That does bring up background noise but handles QSB much better.73, Garry, K3SIW, EN52ta, Elgin, IL
