on 7700.0++
1255 rock, good-strong signal, 1258 next
1330 VERY STRONG !!!  but overmod, not first grade audio

1353 bad het on 7702, and TX drifting up a bit

Hope audio is a bit better now. I changed some audio components (chokes) in the TX which is the reason for the test.

1500 No one - Johnny Moped - Audio is fine now.  Carrier a bit off frequency.
1503 TX Off

How much juice is coming out of your TX?

About 500. 450 at the aerial.

Thanks... strangely enough your signal on 7700 khz was allowing for short distance skip over the UK, while I am in Radio Merlin's skip zone on the lower 6305 khz.  Sporadic E layer? The mysteries of the ionosphere.

Brian, does the transmitter owner want reports?

No, thanks. There will be more tests over the next couple of days as some adjustments need to be made to the transmitter. No reports necessary but all reports here will be read.
