[Lf] Nags Head SITREP Number 2

[Elton A Sanders]

Peter,

Thanks for your messages.

We copied many signals under good conditions during the night of January
16 over here.  We had low noise and ran narrowband Spectran
"spectrograms" during most of the period you were transmitting.  Because
your stations were clustered, we could monitor for all stations on a
single setup with a single spectrogram display.  'We saw some very weak
signals in the area where your signals would appear but they were not on
frequency nor reflected a slow 4 second dot.  We did not feel we had any
detections of your signals. 

As regards receiving antennas, our experience here (as you may recall
from our reports of tests run two months ago at the NSS US Navy
installation) has been that a 300 ft high LF transmitting dipole gave no
better results that our e-field probes.
Anyway , we will attempt to run a long wire antenna this afternoon here

We copy both our own beacons quite clearly here and we will post next
week on the AMRAD web page a spectran picture of both Virginia beacons
being received here in Nags Head North Carolina. 

We will also post a spectran spectrogram picture taken of your part of
the LF band captured at 0600Zulu Sunday 16 January.

Thanks again for your and the other club members' support.
