Hi Guys,
K5ESW reported the following : The 3501.5 carrier is audible in daylight in
Raleigh, NC. It is running
> S3-S4 now at 3 pm local. It was about S6-S7 or better at night.
What would be interesting to know is if anyone can hear this signal 24
hours a day, and then DF activity should be done from that area during the
middle of the day. I will ask K5ESW if he can still hear this signal
between noon and 3pm.
In the Indianapolis area the signal runs S7 to S9 on my TX antenna during
hours of darkness, but lots of fade/multipath. I noticed the signal was
much more stable in the late afternoon (still light outside and running S&)
when I first heard it today (probably less multipath), and therefore
tomorrow afternoon when it first appears I will attempt to update my
headings.
