Longwave Loggings / Re: NDB "LT" on 305kHz very loud last night in Belgium

« on: February 07, 2018, 1631 UTC »

Ulli;

Welcome to these pages, and congratulations on logging LT 305.  That is a great catch!

I have not had the good fortune to log LT here in Chicago.  To the best of my knowledge and if memory serves me, LT has been logged in the USA only once.  That was about 10 years ago, and it was logged by another listener in my town, so I know it is possible.  Last season I was able to detect the DAID and possibly a smeary "L", but that's it.  With the approach of the solar minimum, we are hoping that LT makes it here some time in the future!

Looking forward to your contributions!

Hail the Groundhog, harbinger of Spring and filler of bellies! Hail!

Sounds great!  Perhaps someone can post a LCHF recipe for groundhog?
