Way out here in Kansas (or, here in way-out Kansas, if you prefer) nothing
was audible this morning, and visible only at QRSS30...which looks as if
it would have worked OK, actually.  That's with much improved QRN over
yesterday. Our own storms moved out Tuesday night, but apparently remained
severe over the mid-South yesterday, resulting in S9+10 to +20 continuous
noise, even over that distance. Today's noise averages S1 with peaks to S2
and S3, while the combined signal and QRM is around S0.

I was watching overnight. XIL started showing up by 10 PM CST, but it
interacted heavily with the static for hours.  I was no longer conscious
by the time things cleared up, so I don't know if it was audible between
4:02 and 4:25 AM (the time span covered by the lower trace in the attached
capture) but it looks as if it should have been.  Perhaps I'll have
another shot tonight.

Looking forward to it.  At noon I tuned away for a few hours to monitor
the SIW changeover, and wondered where XIL was. Reckon I'll target another
frequency tonight.

At one point this afternoon/evening I was hearing your CW and 
VO1NA's CW at the same time. I had the receiver on 136.000 USB with 
a 2.5 kHz filter to monitor WSPR-2. VO1NA was producing a 500 Hz 
tone and you were 1780 Hz. Nice to hear two CW signals at the same 
time on this band! That was a first for me. :-)

Even without much QRN last night, reception was clearly less ideal than
last month. Attached is the single best ID of the night. There was another
halfway decent spell from 3:20 to 5:30 AM CST, but it was more broken up
than this.

Haven't yet picked tonight's target, but if there are no significant 
t-storms it'll likely be either the watering hole or EAR.

Garry;

Thanks for the capture. Yes, FSK Mode.   I was doing some antenna 
testing a few days ago, and switched to the U3S/FSK to have a continuous 
signal as opposed to the QRSS/graphics mode which only transmits 50% if 
the time. It got late, and I didn't switch it back.

Hi All:  Cold night here so I thought I would take advantage of lower thermal atmospheric noise and monitor the watering hole overnight...


https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2v4hidn3e1ncze/mar517a.jpg?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yjkpotjvijeon9v/mar517b.jpg?dl=0

Looks like WM got within a few dB of SIW in the second capture.  I was using my NW EWE pointed around 300 deg vs

WSW for WM, so 1 dB or so could be from antenna direction (but I have more local noise to SW)....

Just in case any of you haven't already figured it out. This is a phishing
e-mail. DO NOT click the link.

N0NAS, you might want to run a virus/malware scan.

How are these people getting these through? There was one sent to one group
that supposedly originated from my e-mail address. I changed my e-mail
password, but I have a feeling that's not how they're doing it. I've gotten
deluged by these through various groups this morning.

Nice copy Andy. Think abrupt fadeout is normal. I usually see that with 
WH2XND on 136 kHz WSPR-2. I was monitoring after 1130Z and the signal 
continued normally via groundwave until the QRSS switchover around local 
noon. That will change by an hour once we switch to DST.

Hi all:

For anyone interested.. I monitored 136 KHz WSPR overnight, and during the 1 pm hour ( local time ) , I was
hearing " tones " .. I didn't pay attention at first, but it was repeating, and that got my attention.. I began raising 
the frequency on the radio to bring the tone down, and found the frequency to be 138005 KHz .. The UNID sounds
like it is sending a , not so perfect - " T N " .. I recorded the audio with SpecLab, and used Audacity to look at
the audio plot.. After looking, and listening a few times, the signal seems to be 2 different transmitters..
1 sending a single tone - the " T " , and 2.5 seconds later, the 2nd replies with the " N " .. The " T " is slightly 
louder than the " N " and that is what has me thinking it is 2 transmitters .. It is also possible that the " N " is
being sent at a slightly reduced power level, and the 2 tones, at different power levels make up a signalling
modulation of some sort .. just conjecture on my part, this is the first time I have ever heard it.. The signal stopped
at 1:57 pm local time and has not returned as of 3pm.. I have dropbox links to the SpecLab captures, and 
audio .. ( 4-1/2 minutes ) .. I am curious as to what I was hearing .. BTW, the receiver bandwidth was at 2.4 KHz
so the signal is relatively strong.. Thanks for any comments:

Link to the capture folder .. contains 4 captures:

I want to look for JAM before Lee shuts it down for the season.. Has anyone recently received his signal to be

also showing up on my WSPR-X2 waterfall.  I must have bumped the ARGO freq

capture XIL and NA shown about 3Hz low...

Doesn't look like this made it through so here's a resend with smaller 
attachment:

Warren, I monitored your signal much of the night. Began with ARGO at 
QRSS30 rate so VO1NA also came through. Plenty of QSB but generally good 
copy, even at QRSS3. Eventually launched a second instance of ARGO at 
QRSS10 and will send a sample capture of that in a followup email.

Attached is my final capture of the evening from SE Kansas. The signal
first started showing up faintly from 6:33 to 6:39 PM CDT, then fully
readable between 6:45 and 6:51 PM.

>From roughly 7 to 9 PM, both XIL and NA underwent dramatic level changes,
ranging from very bright at QRSS10 slow to abruptly invisible. I think XIL
would have been readable in CW during that time frame, except those
segments all fell within the deep fades.

By 10 PM, XIL had stabilized at a mostly constant level, but the carrier
was no longer loud enough to be distinguishable from the combined whine of
PLCs. During the final capture, VO1NA was scarcely visible.  It might have
been viewable at QRSS60, but rain forced me away from the listening post
at that point.

Please keep us informed of the operating schedule, and good luck with the
blizzard!

Got up early this morning and found really good prop on the NDB band so 
went looking for J-AM and there it was!  Its been a couple of years 
since the last time I was able to copy it here.  And it was without a 
loop antenna, the active whip did the trick today. Hopefully the cropped 
grab makes it thru.

Thanks for the post Mark.. That removes the guess work, now I can focus on the correct frequency range..

Propagation was great on LF last night .. DCF-77 was knocking my windows out, even with my antenna
tuned for 630 meters ..

Andy when I first heard him he was right on 187015.5 but he did wander 
up a little.  So I would imagine that it does not move that much.

Despite my stated intention not to let anything distract me during LOWDOWN
deadline week, after reading Mark's post I went out to set up and watch
for J(AM) again tonight myself.

I'll just go ahead and blame Mark for my lapse of will power, for purposes
of covering up the truth...which is: When I went back and rummaged through
February's captures, I was embarrassed to find I'd looked in the wrong
spot for JAM during last month's all-night attempt. Argo was tuned to the
spot that matches the memory preset I made for JAM on my Kenwood
receivers...but I've been using the ICOM all this winter, so I was 10 Hz
off.  A miss like that is as good as a mile at QRSS60! That motivated me
to go try again.

There's some indication that I may have already seen pieces of a J as
early as an hour after sunset here in Kansas.  If that's really it,
however, it has drifted up to about .016 this time.

I'm heading back to the field shortly to watch for more. It's going to
remain above freezing tonight, thankfully, but I hope I won't have to make
it an all-nighter because I need to get busy again first thing in the
morning.  Will post results later if there are any.

John

Haven't looked for Navtex signals for awhile so tuned to 518 kHz over 
night. Nice to see a decode from Greenland station M in Simiutaq/Cape 
Farewell. Other area 4 stations decoded were A,C,E,G,H,N,P,R, and U. 
Messages from three area 4 stations out west also came through: H,Q, and W.

Don't feel bad, Andy.  None seen here, either.  The early possibility
which got my hopes up yesterday evening turned out to be a random carrier
that just happened to produce a few "dashes" of the right length, then
came and went at random throughout the rest of the night.

Andy,

My sunshine report is that the link worked fine for me.  Good catch on 
WM.  Something has changed and lowered it's output. I suspect corrosion 
where the wires join together in my ground plane.

Thanks for listening.

I saw good signals from SIW and SJ (and MLS a bit north of the watering hole) while chasing DX on 160 late last evening. ?Interestingly enough, the path to WM (not that far) seemed poor -- I only saw bits and scraps. There MAY have been just a little bit of TAG in there, too.

lower output on 185,300.  With my routine spring activities on the 
doorstep, I am ending it's 2016/17 season early.  Hopefully I'll get an 
improved version on air later this summer.

Mike, still seeing WM as of 1437Z. Not as strong as in the past but 
definitely in there.

Dont want to be away from monitoring Long Wave? Then check
out the Tecsun PL-660 hand held AA battery operated radio.


The larger main analog tuning knob tunes ssb in 1kHz steps. But
there is a bfo knob that is analog fine tuning that makes it easy to
adjust for SSB sync, like a ham rig. Also can  step between lsb, usb.
There is even a 'sync' selection that basically gives you just the upper
or lower sideband portion of an A.M. signal. It actually works well
when you get audio distortion on a fading in and out A.M. signal in
normal a.m. mode, use sync and select the side band that is clearer
depending on what strong signals are near by.

Tune knob has setting options too. I prefer the option that lets me
tune across a band in fast mode if I speed up my rotation of the
main tuning knob. If I slow down my tuning, it goes to the small
frequency tuning rate. Very convenient.

Am guessing the slower tuning is 10Hz steps, but it could be less.
Thus it is like typical ham receivers. I intentionally avoided
receivers that tuned in kHz steps only.

The tuning system has options for tuning in steps if you want to. A
button in the upper right corner near the display read out can step
the tuning rate increments. For example you could tune across the
A.M. broadcast band in 10kHz steps if you wanted to.

Here is a link that will show you how to do an alignment and it
includes setting sideband.
http://rholm.tumblr.com/post/63643179578/tecsun-pl-660-ssb-bfo-alignment-alternate-title

By the way, you have options on using rechargeable, or none
rechargeable AA batteries with this radio. Not trusting any radio to
handle the recharging of its batteries to maximize battery life, I
always do the battery re-charging out side of the radio using the
designated charger from the manufacture. Be it nicad or Ni-MH.
I have four sets of rechargeable batteries for this radio in my grab
and go kit. Of course have long life standard alkaline AA batteries
too as a back up if no recharging is available for a long period of
time.

Note that older versions of this radio have an option to select a
time interval when no buttons or tuning knob has been touched
for auto power off of the radio. In the newer version of the radio
the off setting is a timer with out regard to touching buttons or
tuning or not.

Also note that the newer version of this radio has a hotter long
wave band using its built in antenna. Instructions are poor for
getting into the long wave band that tunes 100 - 519kHz. Just
press the A.M. mode button a second time while in standard
broadcast band 520-1710kHz, then you can tune long wave.

Am considering getting a second PL-660 for my emergency grab
and go kit.

Garry,

Thanks for the report.  Yes, the beacon still up when I wrote the email, 
and during that time the wifey needed a "honey do" completed asap. It 
was 20 minutes or so before I got out to the shed to pull the plug.

Is the newer version the PL-880? That's what I saw when I looked for this
radio on Amazon. Or are there different versions of the PL-660 itself?

The newer MODEL radio is the PL-880. Not part of the discussion in this 
thread about the PL-660. Have heard from others with both radios that 
the ssb is 'different' on the eight eighty.

PL-660 is a Different Model and is still being sold. This version radio 
has had a number of revisions that do not show up in the model number. 
Would be nice if there was a serial number break down of when and what 
circuit changes were done. Came to my attention about the differences 
due to my having purchased two a couple years apart or so.

Wish they would add a serial port to this great hand held small radio to 
help manage the two thousand memories.

Somewhere on line there is an article of an outfit that has tested this 
radio and a few others, and lists the comparisons of them.

This make / model radio for a "hand held that uses four standard AA 
batteries" and has stable ssb with ham bands, doesnt  really have a 
comparable model out in this class - comparable must at least meet the 
660 features for size, standard batteries, and analog tuning. Other 
models in this size range dont usually use standard batteries or have 
analog tuning, or are much larger.

What I would especially like to see in a future version is a a serial 
port to manage the memories. 73 .... Bill ........ out

Oh OK thanks. I wonder if there's a way to know which version you're
getting from Amazon, etc? Also, their listing says "5V DC USB port" but I
guess that's either incorrect or only used for charging.

Looked for J-am this morning and he was there but not as strong and with 
QSB.

Tuned around and stumbled onto WH2XVN, 183.5 +/- sending CW.  Very nice 
signal at about 1030 utc.  He is in Burbank, CA, DM04.

Prop is very fickle, obviously, there one morning and gone for 
several!!  Looks like another coronal hole coming into position. Just as 
I think I might have a "hint" at what may happen, it doesn't, arghhhh.

The second PL660 I ordered from Amazon was a newer version than the one 
I had that is a couple years old. Thus I would suspect Amazon has just 
the newer one in stock .... but I dont work there so I dont really know. 
Guess you could send back an older version if you wanted to. Bill 
....... out

OLD: 39620120600425 number was in battery compartment - Couple years old now

NEW: 39620161000641 number was under fold up stand on rear of radio.
            dated receipt was Dec 12th 2016

Good morning Garry:

Well to clarify I suppose.. Oh Yeah, I'm getting 25 over S-9 static crashes.. My low noise is based on what
I refer to " resting S-meter reading " .. That usually hovers at S-9 to 5 over especially plagued with the 
usual powerline buzz .. This morning - amazingly, there is almost no powerline buzz, and the S-meter is 
hovering around S-6 with the dial at 183.570 KHz - USB for your WSPR .. I can hear several PLC's screaming
in the background.. It would be a LF operators dream to have a noise floor this low all the time .. hi hi
too bad the propagation isn't cooperating with the noise level .. At my end, it has been noticably weak for
the past 3 days .. DCF-77 went from pounding on the door, to whispering under the floor .. The sun is 
awfully quiet, and as John - TAG says; " maybe too quiet " 

73, and thanks for the signal:

Greetings all:

I monitored 136 KHz WSPR-2 for WH2XND and had several decodes.. I had
OPERA-32 running alongside, but nothing going there.. only saw 2 EU stations
active in that mode.. Before retiring for the night, I set the radio to look for VO1NA.
Looked at the captures this morning, and saw a bone crushing signal on 137.780..
The mode was QRSS-60 so the captures are badly smudged, and crunched.
They show that Warrens signal was peaking at 25dB out of the noise at my QTH.
The CW Id sequence shows the keying sidebands extending out 3 Hz each side.
BIG - WH2XIL signal down here..

73 all:

Andy:  I have been able to see XIL in the WSPR2 waterfall when monitoring 
for XND. If you run QRSS30 concurrent with WSPR2 with a higher offset 
(136.000 + 1.780 - ur BFO offset) the XIL signal is not so compressed and 
the VO1NA traces are long, but you can pull an ID through with multiple 
captures....daylight 2200m monitoring fro XND here at the moment but no joy 
so far.....

Hi Andy....decided to try out WSPR-2 on 136 kHz. overnight.  Very solid signals
out of Phoenix on my 10 foot octagon loop....tonight I'm going to try using the
PA0RDT miniwhip just for a not too accurate comparison.

Andy & Mike

    Many thanks for the reports and captures!
I didn't make any announcements since I was unsure how long I'd be able 
to let it run.  Very likely I will go QRT later this evening as we are 
expecting some ice. I've found that ice is the one thing that will 
detune antennas from vlf to microwave !

Mike,

    That's good to know, in that case I might just take it down sooner 
rather than later...

Had a string of decodes of WH2XND from 04:40 until 10:28 this morning,
using the PA0RDT Miniwhip at 7 meters AGL.  The dB figures ranged 
from -21 to -33 in that time span.  For an unknown reason, my WSPR
spots are not being received by that web site.  The dB figures ranged 
from -21 to -33 over that time span.

We didn't get quite everything I think we should have, but overall I'm
tremendously happy with the outcome!

Now all we have to do is wait for the
30-day-from-Federal-Register-publication period, and also for the WTB to
specify the UTC notification procedure. After that, we'll finally get to
test the new norms for 2200 and 630 meters.

Now I can remove the sign that's been over my desk for the past two years
reading "VIACOM." It has been my daily reminder to keep up hope that the
little guy sometimes has a shot against the corporate giants when his
cause is just and he is persistent enough. (Email me off-list if you're

Lowfer EAR came in this morning fine as usual.  Lowfer MLS hasn't been 
visible until later in the morning, but today nothing was ever seen. 
Perhaps because it is already QRT. If not, it should be by tomorrow.
