The Desert Whooper
syfr:
Just did some listening from the back patio here in Santa Barbara County, and DW is whooping in here nicely on nothing more than the BELKA DX and it's 20" whip.
Desert Whooper:
Thank you Syfr!! We appreciate the compliments and are quite proud of our little temperature sensing beacon's success.
The DW Team
Teotwaki:
Is DW off the air?
I heard it last night at 10 PM with normal telemetry
BAT 13.1 oTMP 81 iTMP 87 PV 1
Nothing heard this morning.
Teotwaki:
Must have been propagation chicanery!
I just heard some very weak whoops on the home radio and then tuned to it on KFS and caught telemetry
BAT 14.0 oTMP 89 iTMP 96 PV 5
stendec:
Is everything OK with the DW beacon?
Normally DW is S5 to S7 almost anytime of the day using the KFS or KPH SDRs (almost anytime - except for late at night when the foF2 NVIS critical frequency drops below 4 Mhz). However for the past 4 or 5 days DW has been barely audible or not heard at all. Maybe just a whisper at best and not strong enough to copy the telemetry. I can hear the other Mohave Desert beacons and the Coast Slider just fine.
Could be just the propagation chicanery that Teotwaki mentioned. Any other recent DW reports?
