Nice copy of lowfer SJ through much of the night. No sign of WM in the 
darkness but TAG was in there, barely, but good enough to imagine the 
full callsign.

Subject: [Lowfer] WOLF!
Message-ID: <5686DDD2.5040202@charter.net>

As no year should ever go by without someone running WOLF at LF, my 2016 
contribution will be made tonight. WD2XES will run WOLF(10) on 137.350 
kHz, starting at 2000Z. The setup is rigged to start at the top of each 
hour, and run for 30 minutes. The second half of the hour will be used 
for receiving, and for tuning network cool-down!

For those who are new to the subject, WOLF is a BPSK mode, 10 bits per 
second in this case. It sends a highly error-corrected 15 character 
message over and over, repeating every 96 seconds. The text of the 
message is under the xmit operator's control. If you join the half hour 
in progress, you still probably decode the signal. The point of the 
repetition is to "build up" the copy over a long period of time, 
allowing weak signal reception on the order of QRSS60 detection limits.

WOLF GUI software is available at:
http://www.qsl.net/d/dl4yhf/wolf/index.html

Do NOT dredge up the earlier command-line version on Stewart Nelson's 
site unless you are a real glutton for punishment.

For casual use with a "big" signal, you may just be able to run the 
program without any frequency or sampling rate corrections. But nailing 
down your actual sampling rate will significantly improve your luck with 
weak signals. Your receiver calibration should be within 1 Hz for best 
results. Due to some changes at this end, the WD2XES frequency is about 
5 milliHertz high, due to DDS synthesizer round-off. The old exciter was 
more accurate, but is now enjoying a well-deserved retirement.

I'd be happy to answer any questions, and of course to get reception 
reports. Have fun.

John, W1TAG/WD2XES

Lloyd,

Good to hear from you! The frequency jump is still unexplained. It ran 
right on the nose from 2000-2030. Then at 2100, it didn't start up 
automatically, so I hit Transmit. Then I noticed that the frequency 
displayed on the other computer was off by 0.7 Hz or so. Couldn't figure 
it out, so I shut WOLF down. Upon restarting, all was OK. Want to see 
what happens at 2200Z.

Anyway, thanks for the report - we've been doing this for a long time.

John, W1TAG

Hi John:

Thanks for the WOLF signal!

I first tried using the newer netbook with the SYBA dongle.  Nothing copied.
Then I went back to the old computer using the same WOLF settings as 
last time, and voila:

I'll keep trying to figure out what's up with the netbook.  Your WOLF 
signal is very audible here using the loops configured for SE/NW.
It should work on the netbook - waterfall display looks like peaking 
22 Hz high on netbook.  Something is crazy.  Maybe a Windows sampling 
rate issue.

Bill,

Thanks for the report. Not sure what sampling rate you were using with 
the netbook -- perhaps it doesn't support 8000 Hz. Maybe try 11025? I 
don't think that the WOLF GUI was designed to go above that.

Tnx WOLF signal. Even with reception off the back of the antenna it's not much of a challange at 
this distance.

Well, guess one is never too old to learn something new, eh?

I was using 8000 samples per second.  I have three of those SYBA 
dongles (they use the VIA ENVY VT1620A sound chip and are excellent 
in all other respects).  All of them are *extremely* close to the 
nominal sample rate at 48000, 24000, 12000 (e.g. WSPR works perfectly 
without any correction).  I naively assumed 8000 would be bang on as 
well.  But then I injected a known audio tone at 8000 s/s rate and 
measured the apparent frequency and whaddya know, the *actual* sample 
rate was 7800.00223 s/s !!!  I was flabbergasted.  Typed in that 
sample rate and WOLF now decodes correctly.

Dunno if it's the VT1620A chip or the Microsoft driver.  You'd think 
it would be easy to divide 48000 by 6 to get 8000.

Bill VE2IQ

Jay,

Tnx for the report. I'm running into issues with the timed mode set at 
30 minutes. Works OK for a while, and then at a 15 minute point, 
substitutes the RX sample rate for the TX, and the frequency goes awry. 
At this point, I'm just going to let it run. Have a small fan at half 
speed on the center coil in the LPF. All else seems cool. The 
transformer in the outside tuning network is probably warm, but I doubt 
if there will be any disasters at 32F.

Bill,

Lord knows, simple division is the last thing that the sound card people 
think of! Rate conversions are done by black magic...

Just got home and saw the Wolf activity announcement. Looks fine here 
over an 847 mile path but will have to tweak my soundcard rate at bit.

Garry,

Thanks for the report - looks good. Will be shutting down shortly, but 
may do something during the day tomorrow. Your results look fine -- 
maybe a fade toward the end.

Haven't looked for 518 kHz Navtex stations for awhile so tuned there 
last night. Conditions still in the doldrums. Did decode Bermuda and 
Puerto Rico as usual, and west coast stations in San Francisco and Long 
Beach yielded one message each, but Astoria hasn't been seen for quite 
awhile. Also nil from Greenland, BC, AK, and HI.

Very poor up here too Gary - navtex 518 from kodiak has just reappeared near 475 as a "bleg" not sure what this image is but it comes and goes, and they deny its their problem - 5 ant, at least 5  , passive antennae etc - rxs (diff IF's)and mobile set up says different...

Message-ID: <56892988.5060101@sbcglobal.net>

Good signals here from the 3 main alpha transmitters this morning. See 
those plus "RSDN F4" on Laurence's KL7L grabber. Don't see the signal 
presumably on 12.090773 kHz here. Perhaps it's off now or has a 
directive antenna aimed elsewhere. Also saw a burst on 21.1 kHz. In the 
evening that would be from one of the RLS transmitters but here in the 
morning signals come in from the Pacific so think it's RJS instead, 
located in Vladivostok. Can't see the signal on the KL7L grabber because 
its present tuning range doesn't go that high.

I phased my two EWE antennas to point West, so I am 45 degrees or so off of 
your heading. I'm not sure what that translates into, but I could (will) try 
the NW and SW rx directions with single antennas to see what the difference 
may be.....

Happy New Year : Thanks for all the reports - I guess the mismatched
antenna must be radiating something... 5 amps at the antenna - and DC 150
watts input at the transmitter.
Just got an email from Steve - VE7SL - on Mayne Island, BC - seeing QRSS3
in and out of the noise at 3 PM local time on 475 kHz. ( Wow ).
Will be running this and doing a significant re-tuning of the antenna over
the next few days - weather and time permitting.
Thanks again - really appreciate the effort.

Thanks Bill - nice to get reports from different directions. Loop here is
exactly East -West so you're off about 45 deg at your QTH. Nicely.

Hi, Garry,

Rank noob here regarding VLF .. so please take it easy on me .. but is
there such a thing as a directive antenna at 12 kHz?  I would think it
analogous the (non-) directional nature of a bass drum at low audio
frequencies ...??

In the evening that would be from one of the RLS transmitters but here in the morning signals come in from the Pacific so think it's RJS instead, located in Vladivostok. Can't see the signal on the KL7L grabber because its present tuning range doesn't go that high.

Eric

Conventional small loop antennas maintain their characteristic figure 8 pattern down through the VLF 
frequency range. Terminated loops, like the large K9AY used here, maintain their cardioid pattern 
down through VLF. I typically see F/B ratios of 15 to 20 dB at VLF. It's a bit more difficult to 
develop directional patterns at VLF with vertical antennas because of the required real estate.

Garry, Mike, John & All: I'm seeing WM for the first time this season along 
with SIW and TAG. The TCXO in the FT-817 IF receiver drifted down .2 hz 
since this afternoon...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yagabob6jrn676e/SIWJ5.JPG?dl=0

Using my two EWE antennas set for NW and SW rx directions phased together 
for the due West direction with a hybrid combiner made from BN73-202 and 
type 77 cores....

518 kHz Navtex signals were a bit better to the west overnight here on 
Jan 5.
Decoded messages from all 3 US west coast stations (area 12 C, Q, and W) 
and also one message from BC station H in Tofino. Propagation still 
favors the south over E-W. Many NDBs in Cuba are coming in well. Some 
like ULV on 287 kHz and UBR on 315 kHz are even making it through DGPS 
co-channel interference.

Thanks Jay - The signal should improve when I get the antenna matched.
High SWR and out-of-phase now. Temperature +5 F but warming up - so will
get out and doing some work later.

Hello The Nets:

currently my receiver is locked and I am tracking the LORAN emitter in 
the US.
Rx is a SRS FS700, Austron LF Multifilter #2084, a pair of orthogonal 
delta loops, and a ARR preamplifier at the antenna.
A deep cycle battery is at the antenna for DC power.

Stan, seeing it here now too. But much better on the rear=yard eprobe

Mike tts,

Thanks for the WM capture. I was not expecting the signal to reach you 
at this time because of our overly warm weather. While the temperatures 
have dropped some here, the ground has not frozen yet. We have no snow, 
just water lapping the top of the levees.

Mike: Well it's cold here at 15F presently. I would have left the receiver 
on overnight with the IF split for 185 and 630 meters but wanted to dedicate 
all the IF signal power to 630m to see if I could decode XCR overnight. I 
did manage two XCR decodes overnight before a collection of  50 percent tx 
cycle "local" QRO stations created dynamic range issues with the wspr 
software performance limits.  I may spend more time on 185.3 as it seems 
stations operating in that frequency range have a more refined concept of 
what weak signals are....

    I did notice the ARGO waterfall first captures your WM upper and lower 
carrier levels at the "corners" where the graphic portion of the 
transmission transitions and then eventually the graphic portion becomes 
visible as the propagation enhances.  The extra dB or so power per unit mHz 
on those "corner" traces is like a stepped power function for beaconing. 
Perhaps not intentional but useful for weak signal monitoring nonetheless.

Thank you for all your weak signal efforts Mike.

73, Mike wa3tts

I see, after reading through my backlog of Xmas & NY e-mails, that I missed out on some WOLF activity.
Tiring of the same-old Navtex, WSPR and QRSS modes lately, I've decided to give the mode another try
and see what it would do on 630M.  Taking a cue from Andy, G4JNT, I've set it up for 474.200 dial, with
an audio centre frequency of 1,500 Hz.  I'll run this setup from now through the coming weekend in case
anyone wants to put out a "wolf howl" on MF.

J.B.,

I will be doing some WOLF work on 137.350 kHz, once I sort out some 
computer problems. Maybe tonight.

I'd caution against dropping WOLF signals in the middle of the WSPR 
segment of either band. WOLF is much wider than WSPR, and there's no 
sense in clobbering very popular WSPR signals.

I received this from Jack Smith, owner of Clifton Laboratories, regarding
the repair of my Z1501, which was recently damaged by lightning.

"Dear Doug, I regret to inform you that due to illness I have shut down my
business and will no longer be doing repair work.  I truly regret the

I am sad to hear this. Jack's products are top shelf, and he is a genuinely

Mike,
I see how having a close in transmitter impacts receive capability even 
when operating "bands" apart. With both WM transmitters located on the 
same property, I have impacts on receiving. I am confident the 
transmitters are clean, they just overload the receiver.

You are correct with the "power" observation on the "WM" graphics. It is 
there by design.  I saw in early dummy load testing that I could use it 
as a received signal strength indicator. For the moment, the slant lines 
are coded with 2 levels of "ARGO" power. I think it can be upped to a 3 
or 4 level indicator. I'm working on that change now. For now I have 
been watching the real world results to see if the 2 step idea is workable.

Thanks for the observation and interpretation of the beacon signal.

Sorry to hear that. Jack did some great work

I always kept a spare board and bought the replacement transistor in case o had to fix it myself. Never tried to because his repair prices were inexpensive .

I wish I had bought some spares. Guess I'll take mine down this week and
have a look inside. I've never tried to replace surface mount parts.

OK John, point taken.  Is your chosen frequency dial or tx?  Do you have a favourite frequency
for WOLF on 630M?  I'll be watching for you, once we've both got things sorted out.

J.B.,

I'll be down on 2200 meters for the time being. 137.350 will be my 
actual transmit frequency. If you tune it in CW mode, set WOLF to look 
for the BFO pitch. If you tune it in USB mode, set the receiver dial to 
136.000, and WOLF to look for 1350 Hz. Either should work, though my 
preference is for the CW version, taking advantage of the filtering in 
the receiver.

Doubt that you'll find anything for WOLF activity at 630 meters unless

I'll be running WOLF(10) on 137.350 kHz tonight, starting at 2200Z, and 
running until about 0330Z. Have to run the power down a bit for 
continuous beaconing. TA propagation might work, but I wouldn't bet on it.

John, I started monitoring early and found your signal decoding well 
before local sunset. Not bad for an 847 mile path.

Hi John....been down in the workshop tinkering with a PFN and pulse transformer for a magnetron experiment.
I'm now running WOLF in receive mode looking for your howls.  My TS-440S doesn't have a CW filter, so I'm
in USB with 136.000 kHz. dial and WOLF set to 1350 Hz. centre frequency  Math's a bit easier for my 65 year
old brain cells :-) that way!  I'll let you know if I get some decodes.

STOP PRESS - I just looked at the screen behind me and see that I got a decode right off:

Anyone recognize the wavering FSK type mode of 50 seconds duration around 
3579 KHz?  I've asked a couple of places with no joy.

Good Morning Mitch,
 Your "MP" beacon 579 here in FM18.
 Armchair as they say.
 Thanks for the normal speed "MP" identifier. You wouldn't think that cw 
sent that slow would be that difficult to copy.
 Have a Happy New Year.
 Bill

Good day: Thanks to all for the reports. Reworking and retuning antenna 
for
475 for the winter session. Changed from QRSS3 to QRSS6 and will continue
at this speed for awhile. Presently 150 DC watts - loop current improved

5 amps.
Thanks agn

Thanks to Lloyd, Garry and J.B. for the WOLF reports last. It got across 
the pond to F5WK as well. Laurence tried, but with me shutting down at 
0345Z, there wouldn't have been much hope. Wish we could get more 
willing listeners from the western U.S.

I will give it another shot tonight, starting again at 2200Z on 137.350 
kHz with WOLF(10). I don't trust this full key-down, talking capacitor 
(due to the phase reversals) WOLF beaconing stuff without being able to 
keep an eye (and nose) on it, so I'll shut down somewhere after 0330Z.

Just noticed the incorrect message header. The WOLF signal is/was on

Lloyd,

Off, now. Was running for an hour to check for component heating. All 
OK, and will be back on later.

I wonder if it is the TV horizontal oscillator signal. Those crystals had a frequency of 3579.545 kHz as I recall.

Looking at MP sending QRSS noticed a similarly strong digital signal 
down about 25 Hz. Not sure what the modulation type is.

>>> Wish we had reporters from farther west!

Your wish is my command, although only a few hundred miles farther west than 
Garry.  Loping across the soggy, wintry Plains tonight was not just one but 
two WOLF messages.

First, my initial set of decodes of the night...

"I wonder if it is the TV horizontal oscillator signal. Those crystals had a 
frequency of 3579.545 kHz as I recall."

No TV, I'm out in the desert and I see as many as a dozen signals with heavy 
fading.  There are a few groups using 3579.545 because of how common the 
crystals are.

Andy ID'd and decoded it as JT-9.

Hi Bill: Sorry to be so late answering - trying to do other jobs and
modifications on the antenna and transmitter, setting it up for 475-477 kHz
operation. Interesting that you could hear the ID so well - that's
important for me to know - as I think we will be doing some CW work later
in the month. It would be at reasonable speed - so requires good signals -
and ability to hear the CW - just as you did, with the ID.

Prior to WOLF hunting I checked for MP (from about half an hour before 
sunset to roughly half an hour after), and then again after wrapping up at 
2200 m.  MP was present both times, with more QSB in the early part of the 
evening and steadier signal later.  I ran QRSS3 Slow and QRSS10 Normal 
simultaneously. The QRSS10 display was better overall early in the evening, 
but I kind of preferred the view at QRSS3 later.

By 9 PM CST, the signal was strong enough enough that I could hear the 
carrier. At 03:02:20 UTC, the CW ID was audible and its sidebands were 
visible, although QRN bursts made it impossible to copy all of it.

I hope Friday will be a less hectic day and also dry enough that I can check 
during the afternoon to see when the signal first becomes visible.

Great captures John - it is interesting that you had audible copy. If I can
get some time on Friday I will be retiring the toroidal in the tuner,
hoping to get better matching and increase the current from the present
value of 5 amps. 0n 137 I had about 15 amps running through the loop.
Tchange to 475 has required quite a bit of "renovation".
Thanks

Hi Stan,

You are welcome to distribute this and other Taviga, UrsaNav, or Chronos Press Releases as you see fit. You and your colleagues might also take a look at the Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation's website at: www.rntfnd.org. I've added their President, Dana Goward, to this email FYI.

Since you received this press release, I expect you have already been talking with Steve Bartlett - our VP of Operations at our office in N. Billerica, MA. If not, he can inform you of any timing trials that we may be running. He can be reached at the included email, or at 781.538.5299 x108. We are always interested in feedback from the HAM community, both nationally and internationally, so that we can better understand how our signals are being received and used.

Of course, if you find the signals useful, then we would appreciate any support you or your colleagues/organizations might provide to eLoran initiatives via your elected officials.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if we can answer any questions.

Best, Chuck.

Very Best Regards,
Charles Schue, FRIN
Co-Founder & Director

Hello Charles,

Do you mind if I distribute this press release to my local and international ham radio friends with an interest in timing and LF reception ?
Do you mind if I distribute future press releases ?

I missed being able to achieve Cs frequency accuracy in the LORAN C system with Nantucket ~ 40 miles away.

I do my receiving with a Stanford Research Systems FS700 LORAN C Frequency Standard.

I will await your approval to redistribute on the Internet.

"Resilient PNT has a name, and it is eLoran."

Oh good grief.  Forget the P and the N, they're only delivering timing (and 
messaging, with the aim of it being a for-profit service). Without the full 
government-funded network of sites, there's neither positioning nor 
navigation--and even if there were, it'd still not be functionally 
equivalent to GPS.  Keeping the rest of the Loran format is something akin 
to bringing back analog TV broadcasting in order to have a backup for 
videotex, but wasting the rest of the bandwidth by sending a meaningless 
test pattern.

Commercial timing and messaging sneaking its way into massive spectrum use 
under the guise of navigation... Beware the stampede of pork barrels ahead.

Given that the TA path is pretty rough right now, and most of the WD2XES 
WOLF reports have been coming from the eastern US and Canada, I'm going 
to run a bit more QRP tonight, with 2 watts transmitter output (instead 
of last night's 300), again on 137.350 kHz.

Reports are welcome.

Well, I'm back in the business of LF listening. Removed the damaged Z1501
today and installed an L400B I had in storage. It fired right up and seems
to be working FB.

Bill,

Interesting to get a decode with an SNR that bad. Decodes usually start 
around q: -3. Nifty!

John... confirm the frequency as 137.350 KHz ?? That will explain why 137.500 KHz did not
produce anything but utter frustration for me last night ... hi - hi - hi

Laurence, I've been looking at your grabber thinking it might have a 
2300Z update, but I don't see anything so far. Last update was 2230Z so 
perhaps it won't update until 2330Z. No, I just got the 2300Z update. 
See a brief, narrowband " showing, not the usual wideband I saw here. 
Something like 500 Hz bandwidth, wide enough to block out RDL 
transmissions on 18.1 kHz. The signal was pretty strong here so probably 
not very close to AK this time.

Tnx QRP WOLF. Reception off the back of the antenna ... nothing showing in the waterfall. A fair 
amount of static here at the moment ... probably from Tstorms south of Bermuda.

Cliff,

Probably unlikely, but you never know.

John, Cliff

Based on the excellent WSPR reception here of WH2XND from DM33xt, I'd guess that it would be likely 
with 20 watts transmitter power ... assuming a decent receive setup.

The WOLF cub got lost on its way to the prairie tonight.  Zilch from four 
hours of watching.  Just as a guess based on last night's numbers, I think a 
6 dB reduction would probably have worked, but nearly 22 dB must have been 
too much for that last hop.

As a side note, DCF77 was stronger than I have heard it in some time this 
evening, and a few LWBC carriers seemed to be audible. Wasn't anticipating 
that.

Thanks to Garry, J.B. and Jay thus far for the positive "little Wolfie" 
reports. And thanks to JD for trying!

I'm going to leave it running overnight, and through the day on Friday. 
Will probably turn the wick back up for Friday night, as the TA 
prospects may not be hopeless. Other commitments on Saturday will keep 
me away from the shack.

Andy,

Well, congratulations on the copy. That's not a strong signal, so you 
are getting close. But I'm watching the values after the jm: on each 
line. The number there is not important, but it should be steady, 
indicating that each line has the same framing and that copy should be 
building up (unless fading screws up the build-up process). But there's 
some shift in your jm: numbers, which suggests that the sampling rate 
may still not be quite right.

But, it's tough to argue with success!

John, W1TAG

J.B.,

Looks very nice. I'm going to leave this running during the day today, 
so it will be interesting to see if things hold up. My guess is that you 
would get a mid morning fade, and then a better signal in the middle of 
the day.

Thanks.

OK John....I cleared the screen and restarted at 8:45 EST, so we'll see
what the daylight decodes are like, or if I even get any!

Good Morning Andy,
 I had the same question up to about two hours ago.
 I found this documeent with the info buried in the text. Not all but 
some.
 http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/wolf/wolf_info.html
  
 Needs more reading on my part, but I got the drift pretty quickly.
 Take care.

Thanks John... This has always been my problem, and I don't have a good way 
to check,
and set my sample rate.. If you don't mind to do some educating, what do 
the " jm " numbers
indicate about samplerate ?? Once I lock onto your signal; should I always 
have the same
" jm " number ?? I don't, it changes when WOLF ( or I ) restarts the 
program...and, by that I
mean, 194, 168, 204, etc....the number is the same once locked on, but 
different each pass,
is that normal ?? ... Lastly, can the " jm " be used to indicate whether 
the rate is too high,
or too low ?? This program is so rarely used by anyone, but I still think 
it is worth my effort
and, Thanks for the signal...

Here is the copy from just before sunrise... the rest of the night was 
gibberish...
I purposely used 2.4 KHz BW to see if I am getting close... the " f " did 
change, and I kept
tweaking the sample rate slightly, and slowly bringing the " f " back to 
ZERO.. I didn't get
it there before the signal disappeared until morning...

All 3 daytime lowfers have survived the winter so far and are coming 
through via ARGO at QRSS30 (WM, MLS, and EAR). Also, higher-powered MP 
on 475 kHz is in there as well using QRSS3.

Larry: What great news - Thanks for that information. I have reworked the
transmitter and antenna for operation on 475, and want to see if I can do
some CW work later. Running about 150 watts to a 320 ft loop - in line
90/270 so does favor you direction.
Just finished some more tinkering - Antenna current up to 7 large amps now
- so keep listening.

Thanks Garry: May have been of / on over the last few hours. Nice sunny ( 0
deg. C ) day so did some toroid winding and got the current up to 7 amps...
will leave for a bit.
Also switched to QRSS 6 now - may make a slight difference for reports.

Andy, Bill,

Andy's pre-sunrise copy looks a lot better than the last night's. There 
really isn't anything to criticize. But let me pass along what I know in 
general.

First off, I have been providing a pretty much nailed-down signal, right 
on frequency, and my transmitting computer's sampling rate correctly 
specified. That results in a signal that doesn't drift in frequency, and 
each frame of data lines up with earlier ones, allowing copy to build 
up. So the stuff to watch for is on the receive end, in this case.

Second, please realize that WOLF represents a case of arrested 
development. Stewart Nelson wrote the command-line version of the 
program, did a couple of updates, and then moved on to other things. At 
the point he left it, a lot of diagnostic elements were still in each 
output line. One assumes that if development had continued, a lot of 
that stuff would have been omitted, and nice graphical cues provided to 
help diagnose sending or receiving problems. DL4YHF very graciously took 
the original command-line program and wrapped a nice "GUI" around it, 
allowing easier setup and operation. But the resulting text output has 
remained the same.

f: is the decoded frequency offset in Hz. As long as you are within 1 
Hz, it doesn't make much difference. But, once you start decoding a 
signal, that reading should stay steady. An increasing or decreasing 
reading would suggest receiver drift more than anything.

pm: is a relative power measurement, and once decoding starts, should 
increase line to line, assuming that fading doesn't get in the way. But 
if it jumps by more than 4000 per line, then overload has set in, and 
nothing can be trusted. Very low readings suggest that you should 
increase the input level from the receiver.

jm: These are internal framing values that are particular to each 
receiving run. The numbers themselves don't mean anything. Once the f: 
readings show lock-on, the jm: numbers should stay steady. Assuming that 
the transmitting end sampling rate is correct, then changing jm: numbers 
indicate a wrong sampling rate at the receiving end. If the rate you 
have entered is too low, the jm: figures will drift positive. If the 
rate is too high, the jm: will head negative. Drift in these readings 
means that successive frames of data will not be aligned, and copy will 
not build up as hoped.

q: These are signal to noise readings. The first number is s/n in the 
"reference" channel (a known sequence of numbers transmitted in every 
frame), and the second is s/n in the data channel. Ignore the second 
one, and focus on the first. The signal to noise numbers should go more 
positive as copy builds up. The threshold of decoding should be around 
-3. Anything greater than that generally produces correct copy. Fading 
will complicate the analysis, of course.

If you are correctly decoding a signal after, say 5 lines, there's no 
sense in running very long decoding sessions. Better to limit them to 
maybe 8 lines in that case, and allowing things to refresh. The decoder 
is a big "flywheel," which means that you may receive a signal long 
after it has gone off the air. There's another reason for not decoding 
forever. There may be so much copy built-up that it takes a while to 
degenerate back to noise.

Regarding sampling rate at the receiving end, tweaking it to bring the 
f: closer to zero is only valid if your receiver is indeed putting out 
the correct frequency. A better approach would be to throw it maybe 5 Hz 
up, and watch what happens with the jm values. Then throw it 5 Hz below 
the original value, and watch jm again. You might then be able to 
interpolate between the two limits, and hit the correct rate pretty 
closely. Of course, if you have a precisely known audio frequency source 
on hand, use WOLF's calibration routine to determine the sampling rate 
exactly.

Hope this is of some help.

John, W1TAG

Mitch, were you on between roughly 1700 and 1730 UTC today?  If so, you may 
not be among my daytime signals any more, 'cause I wasn't seeing a thing. 
Groundwave falls off much more rapidly at 630m than 2200m.  I then monitored 
HiFERs for about an hour, and later switched over to 2200m.

If John A is continuing WOLF at 2 W today, though, I probably have no more 
chance with it than I did last night, and may switch back to 475 kHz with 
the idea of seeing when your signal makes its first appearance of the day.

JA, thanks for that concise and helpful summary of the displayed WOLF 
parameters.

Andy, how are you getting your decodes to display actual time rather than 
the relative t:  24, t: 48, t: 96 indications that mine does?

Thanks.

Doug et al :
 Full power ( such as it is ) 200 watts and other than intermittent action
earlier this morning setting up new antenna tuner - have been running
QRSS6 on 475.00 kHz. Should be audible in many areas.
Full operation began just after 1PM EST.

John - between 1700Z and 1730Z I was off and on the air - at low power - I
still got burned when the transmitter came on ! Back to full running from
1800Z ( 1 PM EST ). Will run continuously now.

Went back to the field and sure enough, there was MP about 1830 UTC, roughly 
two hours before mid-path sunset!  Right at the T minus 2 hour mark, there 
was a 15 minute fade, after which it started coming in better and better. 
Great copy just prior to 2200 when I switched over to 2200m for WOLF 
hunting.

So, maybe MP will remain a daytimer for me after all.  I want to do an 
all-day propagation monitoring session on it, as I sometimes did at 2200m. 
Might not be tomorrow, though--good chance of snow here--and Sunday will be 
sub-freezing, so that may be iffy as well.  We'll see.

Big WOLF sighted at 2208, with subsequent decodes improving nicely.  First 
one shown below.  I hope to have more tonight, but don't know if I can 
continue all the way to 0330...precipitation is already getting closer.

Advancing wintry precipitation ended my session tonight almost 3 hours 
before I intended. Won't be feasible to get out there tomorrow for any sort 
of monitoring, and I'm not sure I'll be able to brave the sub-freezing 
daytime temps Sunday. (At least the ground won't be so soggy under those 
conditions.)

At any rate, there were three full sessions. The first, the start of which I 
reported on earlier, yielded results on the 7th decode at q: -4.6, which 
rose to +5.8 by the 29th successful decode:

The next batch took nine intervals to yield the message, with decode 
commencing at -3.6, eventually rising to 8.5:

And the last batch before I had to retreat to town took 10 tries to lock 
onto the correct frequency, and then 22 MORE tries to yield the message, 
with q: not rising appreciably.  I'm not sure what was different about this 
round.

Hi John....as expected, I had good decodes throughout the night.  I changed the interval
on the restart to make it roughly every half hour.  I had a full decode on about line two or
three after each restart, so it seems we've got things dialled in pretty good.

I downloaded and installed the software as directed and entered my callsign and grid square, but not
any of the rig details, as I intend to listen/watch only and my TS-440S doesn't have the CAT feature.

My problem is that the waterfall scale only goes from 0 to 1000 rather than from 0 to 4000 as I see in
one of the helpful sites, Old Codger's Guide to WSJT-X.  Try as I might, I can't seem to change that.

Call it dedication or stupidity...I went out to the farm in low-teens 
temperatures after a late breakfast, largely because it's the first sunny 
day in a while and I figured it would at least be in the low 30s in the 
little building.  It was, but the lock on the pickup bed cover was frozen 
and took me a while to thaw it out. Once I was finally able to get 
everything set up, it was most gratifying to see MP pounding in at both 
QRSS3 Slow and 10 Normal.  Evidently,MP will continue to be a daytime 
regular here until static returns.

It's such a nice quiet day, in fact, that I'd be delighted to look at 2200 m 
this afternoon, if anyone plans to be on.

I don't blame you, JA. That's the system that was here for the past two 
days.

Will look forward hopefully to some daytime Wolfies when the weather is 
better.

Anyone else in a position to do some daytime groundwave tests of QRSS, DFCW, 
WSPR or maybe even PSK31 on 2200 m today?

Well, I'm using hand coverings. To call them "warmers" might be a tad

Thanks for the report and Argo snip, Garry.  It's very cold here today as well.

Tom, there are no doubt other ways to create composites and perhaps 
they're easier but here's what I've been doing. First I save ARGO 
captures of the signals of interest as .jpg files. Then I use the free 
image program IrfanView to crop and save the pieces I want with a bit of 
text added to identify what they are. Next I copy those .jpg pieces into 
the freely available Open Office Writer. If you have Microsoft Word 
that's equivalent but usually unnecessarily expensive. I arrange the 
pieces as desired and save the entire page to a file.  Then with 
IrfanView I crop the region showing just the ARGO bits. I save that in 
.jpg form and resize it if necessary so it isn't too large for posting 
to the lowfer site.

MP is doing well here during the noon hour, although there is more noise 
today.  Doesn't sound like typical powerline or thunderstorm static...more 
of a constant grinding hiss.

HiFERs were also doing nicely early in the noon hour, with NC, USC, EH, RY, 
both SIWs, WM for a while, and maybe 9ZS for a short time too.  MTI was 
good, and PBJ showed up fuzzily for a while.

Also, there's a pirate on 13560.5, which from the sound of things may be the 
old-time radio show pirate from last year.

>>> how do you crop them to post

There are several good options.  Garry's approach certainly works well.

I use a little simpler method myself, saving Argo captures as GIF files, 
then copying and cropping sections of them in plain old MS Paint to put 
together my composite images. Sometimes I'll manipulate them a little in 
LView Pro (gamma adjustment can improve readability of some traces quite a 
bit).  LView 16 bit is free, and the newer 32 bit version doesn't cost much.

I also use the program to adjust the compression factor when saving them in 
JPEG form for posting.  That enables me to save fairly large images in files 
small enough to pass through the reflector, and is actually the reason I let 
Argo do the captures in GIF.  GIF restricts color depth, but JPEG 
compromises detail, especially if the image undergoes compression more than 
once.  By making it so my captures only suffer JPEG compression in the very 
last step, I can be more agressive at reducing file size before loss of 
detail becomes evident.

Just saw the tail end narrowband transmission of TACAMO on 22.7 kHz. 
Laurence's grabber at http://kl7l.com/Alaska.html shows it very well and 
very wide band earlier. Must be relatively closer to AK than IL.

Just fired up for WSPR reception on 474.2 kHz and notice that WH2ZKO is

decoding window it's not likely to decode there unless you tune a bit 
lower. I'm currently using 474.19 kHz USB and that's low enough to 
decode both WH2XZO and WG2XJM (near the high end of the band at 475781 Hz.

Garry and the list:

FWIW, I have been using WSJT-X for several weeks now, and it offers decodes of image
signals up to 10 Hz above, and below the passband.. I decoded XZO earlier here at the
low edge of the band.. possible that this version allows a little " wiggle room " at the edge ???
BTW, it was easy listening earlier today when XZO was beaconing CW at 5 wpm.. but; he
is groundwave for me...

Andy, that may be but I was running both wspr-x0.8 and wspr-2.0

decently strong. That's when I tuned down 10 kHz and wrote the note to

Signals here from the east and west have been unimpressive, but from the

has been decoding regularly and through much of the night, along with 
many Cuban NDBs. In contrast, only area 12 station Q has been decoding 
on 518 kHz Navtex. Last night area 4 station E was a no show so station 
F came through easily. On the other hand station N was particularly long 
winded and send messages clear to the station R window at times. It will 
be interesting to see if the Jan 15 massive shutdown planned for DGPS 
stations allows new DX to decode.

JD,
Thanks for the capture of Lowfer WM. It's interesting to me that again, 
the graphic portion is a better form of ID than the solid line QRSS. I 
wonder if that would still be the case if the graphic were changed from 
WM to a less familiar icon.

That's a good question. There's a lot to be said for the simplicity of "WM."

I, too, am intrigued that the graphic portion works better than the FSK. 
The sloping lines are not as efficient for Argo's FFT routine to decode, as 
the carrier spends less time in each frequency bin. But on the other hand, 
the straight-line portions tend to get broken up into smaller elements 
because of noise bursts and QSB, so they are harder to decipher...especially 
when the letters are separated by the graphic and the eye doesn't have a 
chance to integrate the whole ID at once.

I note that when signals on 1750 m underwent the transition to daytime 
groundwave this morning, I lost the graphic portion entirely.  I can still 
see two broken lines where the flat portions of the FSK are, but nothing of 
the graphic intervals between. It's sometimes evident that there are two 
dashes, but it's not always clear whether there's a dot in front of one of 
them. Other times, the dashes are broken up enough to look like dots 
themselves.

Perhaps if the FSK W and M were grouped together between the graphic ones, 
the FSK might be more nearly readable.

The so-called Alpha transmitters have been coming in well of late,

copy of the 3 main transmitters here, evening on top, morning beneath. 
The number at the end of "alpha" stands for the number of beeps heard 
via audio monitoring. Laurence's grabber (http://kl7l.com/Alaska.html 
and http://kl7l.com/fast00000.jpg) usually shows a 4th alpha at about 
12.091 kHz but for some reason I haven't been able to copy it. Wonder if 
it produces 4 beeps?

Thanks for the capture Garry. It looks much stronger than the last. We 
have snow cover here with a low overnight temp of 6 F. While I was out 
with kids, and grandkids sledding Monday, I found that the ground was 
not yet frozen.  So I bet there is still room for signal improvement.

I wondered why WH2XRR suddenly popped up on my WSPR display:

1746 -27  0.5   0.137540  0 WH2XRR FM18 23
1756 -29  0.6   0.137540  0 WH2XRR FM18 23
1804 -28  0.5   0.137540  0 WH2XRR FM18 23
1814 -29  0.6   0.137540  0 WH2XRR FM18 23

Not exactly DX from Leonardtown to Martinsburg, WV but nice to see a
daytime signal.  How long will these remain on?

Gary - just for interest I just recorded the current 4 audible Alphas in sequence starting at F1 then F4, F2 than F3 - ie LF to HF
 
 
http://kl7l.com/alphas.mp3
 
The F4 12.09kHz is a singleton as you can hear here
 
regards
Laurence KL7L

 The so-called Alpha transmitters have been coming in well of late, 
morning and evening 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_%28navigation%29). Attached is a 
copy of the 3 main transmitters here, evening on top, morning beneath. 
The number at the end of "alpha" stands for the number of beeps heard 
via audio monitoring. Laurence's grabber (http://kl7l.com/Alaska.html 
and http://kl7l.com/fast00000.jpg) usually shows a 4th alpha at about 
12.091 kHz but for some reason I haven't been able to copy it. Wonder if 
it produces 4 beeps?

Didn't see the announcement for almost an hour and a half, but then I 
immediately dashed down to the field to look.  Had XND in the 2028 slot with 
an SNRr of -14, which was not bad considering there's a teady carrier within 
1 dB of the same level just 1.5 Hz below XND's center frequency.  Then XES 
came through during the 2030 slot with an SNRr of -28.

XND made it a few more times before XXM decided to join the party.  Didn't 
have any idea who it was when testing with steady carrier 10 Hz above XND, 
but the unmodulated signal only knocked XND down a few dB when I was still 
using the preamp and moderate audio clipping.  When it finally cranked up in 
WSPR mode, I still didn't know who it was for a while longer. The first WSPR 
transmission was so wide with the settings that I had, that WPR 2.0 took 
over 4 minutes before deciding it couldn't decode it!  Result: I missed six 
more minutes of receiving time, during which I cut the RF gain and audio 
clipping way back. After the first transmission, XXM went up another 10 Hz 
to 1520, and I finally got a decode of it several minutes later.

Being 29 dB stronger here than XND, the latter seldom decodes now. With XXM 
running 50% duty cycle, I think it's safe to assume I won't be seeing anyone 
from the Northeast again this afternoon, but I've left it running a while 
longer just in case.

Laurence, thanks for the impressive sounding .mp3 file. The 3 signals I

good. And I still don't hear F4, but now I now if I do it will be just a

Apparently XXM was making his final transmission while I was on the way back 
to town to report earlier this afternoon.  When I returned to the field an 
hour later, all was much quieter, so I tweaked the audio levels again and 
improved the reported SNR of XND by about 3 dB, and then had one more decode 
of XES before I packed everything up for the evening.

I hope further WSPR Days will be forthcoming.  Would also be interesting to 
see what WOLF would do under daytime conditions over the same path(s).

Subject: [Lowfer] WM LowFer Beacon back On Air
Message-ID: <569A6E36.2080306@meekfarm.us>

I have re-started the WM Lowfer Beacon after upgrading the firmware in 
the exciter, and installing a new message using the additional 
capabilities. Also I dropped the frequency down to 185,300.5 KHz.
The new message is a little shorter so the GPS Frequency calibration 
will occur more often. This will help with frequency stability.

Reports are welcomed.

Jay:  Yesterday (Fri) evening my best guess was 186202.1~

https://www.dropbox.com/s/px6vums2g8akoml/MLSJ15.jpg?dl=0&preview=MLSJ15.jpg

I went looking for TAG afterwards and TAG was about .2Hz high on my display 
so I re-caled to his frequency for 185297.000 once I had TAG traces that 
were identifiable...

We reported on the notice for public comment in The LOWDOWN last summer and 
have continued to follow the story after that period ended in November, but 
they've remained very quiet about what they finally decided...if anything. 
As of today, for instance, the USCG NAVCEN page still says the only DGPS 
site terminated this year so far is Cape Hinchinbrook, on the 11th.

I guess we'll have to follow what DXers and end users say in order to know 
in any timely manner when/whether there are shutdowns.

Early Tuesday morning, he was as high as 186203.95, so evidently it can be 
most anywhere in that vicinity at a given time.

Thanks Mike and JD for the replies.

Was seeing a weak signal on ~ 203.2 that looked like it could be MLS ... 
http://www.w1vd.com/grabber.html . Hard to tell for sure what with it being a moving target.

Jay: I have seen MLS in that frequency range mid day in the past few weeks. 
I will run a capture at QRSS 20 shortly if no picture-esque activity is 
around 185.300 (my current rx setting)...

Mike,


TAG's service as a Lowfer frequency "standard" continues. A check at 
mid-day shows TAG within 0.01 Hz of 185.297 kHz, so your method seems to 
be appropriate.

 ~:) Roger that John. I tried to get a decent quality capture of TAG last 
evening but the QRN from the noreaster going up the coast was rather robust. 
I will give another try this evening although I will have the NW and SW EWE 
antennas phased for a more east-west pattern...(presently a manual antenna 
connector configuration which not easily switchable).

No MP on 475.000 found when I looked and found XHA in QRSS3 mode...

Presently monitoring 185.300 and 630m wspr2 favoring a West heading...

All of the above captures were made with an $11  24 bit USB fob sound 
card/codec I found on Amazon. Great deal
if you have a 16bit internal card and want to upgrade for a modest price. 
They use a generic driver for Windows which loaded as soon as I plugged the 
USB device into the PC.  I picked up two of them so I could run A/B 
comparisons and have similar A/D converter performance for my two Acer 
netbooks...

( Syba USB 2.0 External Stereo Sound Card Adapter )

I'd rather use my Xonar U7 USB sound card adapter with it's lower noise spec 
but it threw an error 43 code and I don't have the time/patience to sort 
through the bucket list of possible remedies at the moment. (the easy ones 
have been tried)...

Hi all:

When sending an image with a mode such as MFSK ( specifically FSQ ) , what color will
transmit most efficiently, for a distant receiving station ?? If I want a single color background,
and a single color text; what colors will be easiest to receive ?? and also, what would the
best font be to really stand out on the receiving end ?? 

Thanks for input, and 73:

Mike,

I'm seeing your lowfer fine this morning. The "WM" together is a nicer 
visual effect but the shift is rather small for QRSS30. I'll try QRSS60 
later.

Thanks for the capture Garry. Yes, I cut the amount of shift down as a 
by product of reducing the amount of transmission time. Otherwise the 
aspect ratio of the letters wouldn't be right. I have not tried a QRSS 
60 capture either.

Mike,

QRSS60 isn't the answer. QRSS20 shows the "WM" nicely versus time using 
the slow rate but I think the shift needs to be roughly doubled to look 
good.

Garry's got a good point. Alternately, if you could stretch out the 
transmission time by about 30-50% and keep the same shift, that would allow 
QRSS60 with improved readability.

Garry, JD,

Thanks for your comments on the new format.  I will look into how I can 
modify the graphic. The current graphic uses about half of the message 
capacity so I have room to increase the size, but may not be able to 
double it.

At lease this change is just figuring out the new pattern and keying in 
the numbers, no firmware change is required.

Mike & All: I did get a partial capture of WM this morning.  No luck 
overnight as the storm down in the gulf near FL & AL
was generating too much QRN.  I used my NW EWE antenna to limit the noise 
for the overnight session, but that reduces the antenna gain in your 
direction.  This morning I did a 180 degree phase combiner arrangement on 
the NW and SW EWEs, which gives me a west 270 degree peak. The QRSS lines 
from what apparently is WM came through.... Presently still seeing what 
appears to be light WM traces...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fjenek47t878nb1/WMJ17.JPG?dl=0&preview=WMJ17.JPG

So you have my ragged-edge capture with the gain cranked up to 53/53 and 
visual AGC "on" in ARGO and the AGC "off" and NB "on" with my FT-817 and 
TXCO-9 as the receiver IF...

The sound card was the Syba USB dongle set at 24 bits and 44.1K sampling 
rate.

73, Mike wa3tts

Oops....your'e right, John.  I was in a bit of a hurry when I set up to decode over-
night, as I was almost asleep on my feet.  To not have noticed that glaring error
when I posted this morning, means I was still asleep!  I'll make the changes to
WSPRX right now so it will be correct for tonight.

Mike thanks for the capture. I was hoping to see a weak signal version 
of the ID. I don't see the graphics this time, but the FSK is correct.
Your frequency agrees with Garry's report, so I'm thinking I am a little 
lower than my target 300.5.

Temps have been dropping all day here, with medium speed winds. We are 
currently at 20 F so I am expecting the bare ground to get a good freeze 
over the next couple days. I hope that allows my signal to come up some 
for you.

OK Mike, Keep in mind that my receiver is not GPS locked.  I'm usually about 
.2Hz for range for error if I calibrate to an accurate on-air signal ( TAG, 
MP, SIW, WWVB, ) for a few days and the local weather temperature excursions 
are not too great.  With the cold weather soon to arrive this evening my 
furnace will be cycling and my receiver and converter LOs will wander a tad 
more.

ARGO was originally run at QRSS20. That made for the best presentation

on 185.297 is attached. Used an SDR-IQ with internal clock so the

Last night while monitoring wspr signals on 136 kHz noticed not one but 
two relatively wideband signals. The look like what's seen at VLF and 
weren't so strong as to bother wspr decoding. I've seen both in the past 
but have to label them as unknowns because I have no idea what they are. 
Perhaps animal RFID like discussed at

Andy,

Thanks for providing an overnight look at 1750M. That Dropbox / folder / 
15 minute timing worked really well.  It's interesting that your 
squiggler knocked on the door a couple times overnight, then just 
waltzed right in.

I appreciate the ability to review the WM Lowfer signal over that 
timeframe.  Thanks.

Hi All: A nice capture of WM peaking up early in the evening for a change vs 
after midnight. My NW and SW EWE antennas phased 180 degrees for somewhat of 
an E<>W pattern at lower elevation angles...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwzsutt02udlkx3/jan18b16.jpg?dl=0&preview=jan18b16.jpg

Looks like my receiver is .3Hz low according to the TAG frequency reference 
service. SIW has been very solid here all day and evening.

Thanks for the nice capture Mike. The cold weather might be helping. 
It's still below zero here and signals received from the East have been 
well above normal. Decoded the 288 kHz DGPS station in Cape Ray, NL 
through 1133Z this morning.

All made with the $11 Syba USB sound card dongle at 24 bits and 44.1K rate.

My Xonar U7 is apparently dead. Chance it is something like a voltage 
regulator, but no easy way to
open the plastic enclosure short of a hot knife---which may happen at some 
point. New U7 on order with the 2yr warranty this time....

The Acer PC I was using had a disc volume error from a OS crash so I did the 
Win7 re-install thinking
I may have had a corrupt sound driver and other possible OS issues causing 
the error 43 code for the USB port.  148 updates later I have a new clean 
Win 7 install but it did not fix the U7 not being recognized....the Acer 
also decided to interrupt last night's WSPR-X session at 3AM for another set 
of updates....

Not very often I can capture WM, SIW and TAG in the same waterfall frame, so 
it was a good overnight session on 185.3

Andy, and other list readers.

Andy, I have been tracking your captures over the past couple days, and 
have noticed little change in signal strength of the WM trace over night 
into the daylight.

Am I correct in concluding that we are close enough that you are mainly 
receiving my ground wave, even at night? The temporary fades at night 
being caused by interactions with the skywave?. The daylight signal 
seems to be fairly stable.  The nighttime strong signals seem to be 
about equal to the daytime.

Thanks for putting in the effort to provide this view.

Very poor propagation tonite at this time.. " SJ " not being seen at all - must not be on..
" WM " traces are extremely weak, and have vanished as of this email.. External noise
is not really a factor tonite.. it's very quiet except for my usual neighborhood QRN..
Things may pick up thru the night..

Andy, I agree SJ was either off the air or in some very unusual very 
long fade. But as of around 20 minutes ago I saw it suddenly appear on 
my ARGO QRSS30, slow waterfall. WM has been in there all the time and 
TAG is making a valiant try to become strong enough to clearly identify 
the code symbols.

Thanks for the capture Garry, I know WM is not a powerhouse, but for my

A nice pre-sunrise showing by " TAG " ... Expect a drop-out of " SJ " soon, and
" WM " currently in a fade with expectations of rising back up after sunrise here..

Hi Doug:

Just got back from a run to the grocery store.. We have 4 inches on the ground, and the
roads are freezing over which is the bad part.. Can't drive good on ice.. Keep it in low, and

Doug, Andy,

I didn't realize the geo/mag was turbulent today. In addition to the 
bare ground being frozen solid here yesterday, I woke up this morning to 
a 5-6 inch snow cover. Nicely dry and powerdy, no ice. That has seemed 
to help the signal escape the property in the past.

Andy....do I have to do something once I get to the Dropbox page?  All that I'm
seeing is a page full of empty boxes with a revolving blue circle in the middle.

J.B.

I think all you need to do is just wait. I have been watching the past 
few days and sometimes either my ISP slows things down, or somewhere 
something slows down the transfer process.  A few times it has been so 
slow, I just gave up and come back later.

It seems like dropbox is sending every image down at once, because once 
you see the full page of thumbnails you can click to get a full screen 
displayed very quickly. Then you can click forward/backward thru the 
images full screen.

Hope that helps.

Message-ID: <56A39BE7.8030206@sbcglobal.net>

Good signals last night from 474.2 kHz WSPR station WH2XCR in Maui so 
turned to 353 kHz looking for NDB LLD in Lanai. Haven't heard it for 
quite awhile due to very strong station PG in MB being right on top of 
it.  Fortunately most Canadian stations send true USB whereas most US 
stations are DSB. LLD came through fine on LSB (-403 Hz) with a cycle 
time of 8.46 seconds. Later tuned down to 332 kHz looking for NDB POA, 
also in Hawaii. Past reception has been basically impossible due to 
local station HK. However, that HK (there's still a station with the 
same callsign in NC!) has gone QRT. Now the problem is NDB SBU running 
at about the same USB offset and cycle time. While a clear reception of 
the POA callsign wasn't possible there was a second "bump" in the 
correlation function that was most likely due to POA. All in all an 
interesting night for propagation to the west.

Hi Andy....thanks for the report and Argo screen shot.  The image came up straight away
on the LWCA site.  I checked to see if I had any of the settings you mentioned in your PM
yesterday and couldn't see anything that should give me troubles with Dropbox.  It shall
remain a mystery, I guess.

Thanks for the report and posting of a capture, which I can't look at for some reason.
Do I actually have to sign up to look at postings?  I can understand that I would need
to sign up to put images there, but not to just look at what others have posted.

You?re right.  When I am signed out of Dropbox, I cannot see the file
either, and I thought I had it set to view by anyone.  Let me work on it.

Looks OK now.

Remember on Dropbox, even when something is shared publicly, they try to
get you to log in / sign up.  Just close that box and you should be able to
go to the shared file.

>>> Just close that box and you should be able to go to the shared file.

Doesn't always work, either. And sometimes you'll eventually encounter the 
more fundamental reason why...a  message arrogantly stating that "Dropbox 
doesn't support your browser."

It is arrogance because no Web site "supports" the user's browser. It's 
actually a question of whether or not the _browser_ supports whatever 
newfangled doodads the Web developer insists on using on his pages! But they 
phrase it to make it sound as if they've been doing us a favor by 
"supporting" our software all along, so now it's up to us to get with the 
program, so THEY can do the things THEY want to do...which is to intrude 
further onto our machines. <end soapbox mode>

Anyway, does anyone use Photobucket any more?  I know it's handy to just 
drop files in a folder on your computer and let Dropbox come along and 
rummage around and pick them up when it decides to, but that convenience in 
uploading seems to be more than offset by the inconvenience in viewing.

I did two things that we can try.  I put a jpeg version of the clip on
Dropbox for you to try.  The image before was .gif

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q318xgf8bo8mndb/EAR%201_26_16%20%20jpeg.jpg?dl=0

I also noticed that Dropbox wants to use Adobe Flash, which I have disabled
on my Firefox and only allow when the browser asks me.  If you have flash
disabled, that may be blocking you from seeing the content.

JD:  I stopped using photobucket because the advertising volume was 
unbearable...my AdBlock plug-in would stop a hundred or more advertising 
links....no one wants to see a jpg file that badly....

Jim, once I got the right browser running on the right machine, I retrieved 
the GIF file just fine before you changed it. FWIW, that particular machine 
has an outdated version of Flash that Firefox won't run, so I'm dubious of 
the absence of Flash being the problem.  (I've intentionally left it 
un-updated because that's what so many advertisers are using these days, and 
they assume we all have ultra high speed Internet and terabytes of RAM. 
That machine doesn't, so a couple of needlessly big Flash ads running at the 
same time really bogs things down.)

Sorry to hear that Photobucket has gone so commercial, Mike. That's a shame.

That's the problem, Lee.  I never get the box asking me to sign up!
I tried to create an account and it just goes as far as submit, then
zippo after I hit return....strange, eh?

No change, Jim, even with the .jpg format.  I use Adobe Flash player a lot and it works fine.
I have no blocks set.  Maybe the site doesn't like my iMac and only works for Windoze.

Indeed....we run an old version of Safari at work for some things...Gmail
doesn't like it and gives us the same message.

Anyway, does anyone use Photobucket any more?


My boss uses it for some things...I hate it.  Awful interface and lots of
ads.  As often as not, we just use a hosting account for storing files to
share...although that's probably a violation of our TOS with the host.  I
do use Dropbox as much as I can, though.

And I am a Mac house also running El Capitan and Firefox.
Except for signal processing, that is.  Then I use a PC and W7

Bottom line is that I was thrilled to hear (see) JB.
Think I?m making some progress on my receiving setup.

You are ahead of me with W7.  I'm using an old PC running XP for several functions.  Keying EAR with Rick's QRS program
is its prime function, as well as the usual digital modes like Argo, SpecLab, WSPR, and WOLF.  I also use it with the Navtex
decoder, YaND and have logged some real DX with Puerto Monte, Chile being my best to date.

My main computer is the iMac, while my wife has a Mac Mini, which along with the XP box are on an in-house wired LAN.
I do all of the file management of the XP unit via the iMac, as it's so much easier that way.

I hope your decoding of EAR is just the first of many for you.  It's people like yourself that provide me the motivation to
have my beacon on 24/7/52, as I never know who might be the next to send me a reception report and capture.

Hi All: I'm seeing MLS near 186.203 again. VO1NA and XES showed up on 137. All rx on my NE EWE antenna.

Currently seeing TAG and SJ on usual  185.3 frequencies on the NE EWE antenna as well, likely 4dB or so down off

main lobe of the Cardio pattern...

Didn't realize there was activity last night around 137.78 kHz. Well 
before local sunset tonight XES was coming in here well. Haven't seen 
even a hint of VO1NA tonight so perhaps that station isn't QRV.

While monitoring 474.2 kHz WSPR last night noticed MP was pounding in on 
475 kHz with QRSS3. But now that the sun is up it's just detectable at 
that rate. When it was on 137.78 kHz it came in well during daylight 
albeit via QRSS30.

Thanks for clip Garry - very strange propagation -testing for QSO Party
next weekend. VE7SL has been getting good copy last week but conditions
dropped right out over this entire week. Solar activity has created
problems, and no copy at all since the weekend.
Normal current now - so this mornings fade must be propagation related.
Thanks agn

I wasn't sure if MP was back on. There was no trace here yesterday during 
the daytime, nor about an hour after sunset.

However, I was getting WSPRs from all corners of the U.S. on 630m from about 
an hour before sunset to an hour after, when I packed up to go home.

Hi John et al:
Thanks for listening - but the last of my FETs just smoked !
This conversion to 475 kHz has been a nightmare - modifying all filters,
toroids, and antenna systems.
Each change was reflected by new problems, and they kept cascading down the
line.
As I sat here this morning - I detected a familiar electrical odor - hot
and definitely bad....by lucky chance (?) I was sitting right beside the
transmitter as it arced and spit before swallowing my last FET in stock.

So your efforts to hear me much appreciated but - I was moving a couple of
fans in the room and opening a window !

I will initially be off the air for some time - so may enjoy some listening
and experience some of the receiving that I have not been able to do for
some time. Maybe a total re-building is in the future. The G0MRF rig worked
well for over a decade..... I guess it just really didn't want to move to
an unfamiliar place - 475 kHz.

Not watching your frequency ... but hear your signal / ID while listening to / decoding the WSPR 
band.

I see that CFH is making one of its rare appearances this morning on 
137.0 kHz. Signal strength seems lower than usual, but plenty loud.

Funny you should say that JB... The path did, in fact, open on 630-meters
between Laurence's RX as KL7L and John, WA3ETD / WG2XKA in VT.
Remarkable.  Between weekend activities and WSPRnet access issues, I am
trying to get the data to see how the path really was.  Maybe Laurence will
chime in before WSPRnet comes back online.

JB,. as ever thank for the wormy - it worked as expected, and opened up lead (Pb) wall between me and the "Easties", even if some call it East mid West" -
 I was RX only last night and had tied both TX antennae to ground so all the stars, field lines and the electrons were spinning, aligned and phase stabilzed the right way, just as Tesla predicted.
Nice to be greeted with this rarish opening before my first early morning cuppa and Marmite laden toast

Laurence KL7L WE2XPQ -ps it cooled down below freezing over night - its been warm here too long

John & Lawrence: Forgot to plug in my netbook wall wart and PC went into 
hibernation around 08-something UTC so wspr2 shut down half way through the 
night. I'll be sure to double check everything tonite with the low A and K 
numbers present....

Sure would want one of those KL7 captures here....

Thanks Jay -
Missed checking reflector last night.
Think I may have cured the problem with a couple f spare FETs.
Having problems setting up antenna tuner ( a la W1TAG ) for matching.
Will continue - now CW on 475 kHz.

Good news Jay - Getting resonance now, but scope match measures 120 ohms
impedance, with resulting SWR.
When I move taps around I can get minimum SWR with impedance match - but
way off resonance.
Wish Bill Ashlock was around these days - re-reading his notes on  the loop
and trying for some compromise.

Your report gives me hope   :-)

Thanks
Mitch

That's an increase Mike - better than this afternoon. I think you were
right about the ground wave. Rig seems stable - so hands off for awhile.
Thanks for the update report.

Mike, I'm suspicious about that 5 mW report. I decoded VE7CNF once last 
night too and did get that value, but the night before and many other 
nights the power level decoded as 37 dBm; i.e., the "standard" 5W.

160131 0832   7 -26  0.1   0.475790  VE7CNF CN89 7           0 1    0

160130 0900   5 -26  0.0   0.475790  VE7CNF CN89 37          0 2    0

Perhaps Toby just realized he was using a default value and put in the 
real thing. But since his levels have never differed markedly from those 
of VE7BDQ 5 mW doesn't seem right. Guess an email to the op is needed 
for confirm just what the power/ERP are.

The Garland  (Billings), Montana DGPS station on 313 kHz  has been 
decoding here 24/7 for several days now from 914 miles. Not surprising 
WG2XIQ was decoding on 474.2 kHz WSPR2 as well through 1632Z when 
perhaps it went QRT.

Nope, still QRV here in Texas, 20% TX cycle.  Would raise the cycle higher
for daytime session but we are experiencing very high wind gusts and the
antenna is bouncing around quite a bit.

Garry: I'm thinking the same. WSPR net not accessible at the moment to run a 
station decode check in the DB.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

>>> Nope, still QRV here in Texas, 20% TX cycle.

I can confirm that. In addition to solid copy here all night, XIQ was doing 
its usual fine job at last check about an hour ago. Of course, maybe those 
winds are what's blowing it up to Kansas so well.  Would love to be able to 
upload the ones from last night to wsprnet.

Ah! Check that. Just now tried again and got a response from them, and will 
try to upload a short nippet of my pre-dawn captures. But whaddya know, 
looks like all these recent outages were the result of time travel 
experiments!  The first three database entries displayed are timestamped 
from 19 January 2038. Viz:
      2038-01-19 03:14   WH2XGP   0.475687   -21   0   DN07dg   10   WE2XPQ 
BP51ip   2455   321

C'mon, guys, you know the rules--what happens in the future STAYS in the 
future, OK?  I mean, it's kind of discouraging back here in 2016 to know 
that we'll still be needing Part 5 Experimental licenses to transmit on 630 
meters 22 years from now!

Anyway...most of the daytime hours I've been looking for the SIW HiFER 
WSPR-2 on 13555.400, but this doesn't seem to be one of those days when the 
path from IL to KS is going to open up.

And still can't. Sigh. The old database interface remains unavailable, and I 
can't do realtime transfers from the farm, so I guess it'll have to wait a 
while longer.  Those future people are hogging all the resources.  But al 
least we know it'll be working again by 2038. ;)

Hi JD weve been trying to get help to remove the floating pointer integer bug entries for some time but the web//server chappy appears under resourced - i cant complain for a what was an excellent and moreover free service. I have no idea of what caused it save the info on wiki about the 2038 issue. Id love to have an editor to correct server upload or pull out bad entries (hint!)

Aurora here last time so that toned down the conditions somewhat and over the pole aint too bright at the moment. Still its 15F and the sun shining, got a full tank of gas....etc

>>> Is this dial frequency ??

13.555400 MHz is actual carrier. Dial would be 13.55390 if using USB.

I really don't recommend USB in that band because of CODAR and all the other 
racket, though. The noise in the wider bandwidth can be too much of a 
challenge to a receiver's dynamic range when QRP signals are interspersed 
among so much other RF.

Since I use WSPR 2.12, which doesn't mind if you restrict out-of-band 
response, I can use my CW filter with a BFO frequency of 800 Hz and a "fake 
Dial" of 13.55460 to get the displayed frequency to come out right.

But of course, I make it a point to trim out the 22 Meter decodes before I 
(attempt to) upload to WSPRnet.

Good luck, Andy!
