Altho its not a broad signal .. quite the oppisite, I've recently learned
of the WSPR crowd is running prop beacons @ 1836.6 Just below where the
majority of the JT65 Activity is, I have rcvd these signals here @ my
location, along with the Call & Grid they send the TX pwr in dBm Most are
in the 40 - 30 dBm power level.
Do you have or know someone that has one of those MFJ noise cancelation
boxes that uses a 'sense' antenna and you adjust the phase?
I live in the depths of a big city.. and noise is status quo here.. I
havent tried one of these devices yet.. if I find a local ham that has
one.. ide Like to borrow it and see if it would be a viable addition to my
operations here.
Good Luck,
Steve Raas
