DETAILS OF HIS MONITORING OF THE 5 BEACONS CENTRED ON 3.594500MHz.
DL4YHF's Spectrum Laboratory ( http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/spectra1.html ) configuration
file is here.
Here are two
screenshots of the OK0EU beacons on 3.594.5MHz covering the night of
3-4 August 2010. I have been monitoring these for a while and
noticed this night showed rather more frequency variation than
usual.
The results do vary,
below, I post another two, perhaps showing a more usual pattern.
Here about 700 miles or 1100Km away the carriers with no doppler
shift apparent are often just about visible all the time. The
beacons run just one watt into dipoles.
My location IO90IR
50.7°N 1.3°W Cowes Isle of Wight just off the South coast of the
UK.
The frequency scale is
not absolutely precise. It is in Hz giving the last 4 figures of the
frequency about 3.594500MHz.
Sunset at beacon sites
about 1845, local about 19.50
Sunrise at beacon
sites about 03.30, local about 04.30
All times UTC.
If RX attenuation is reduced the carriers are often visible
most of the day. The beacons on the lower frequencies seem to give
slightly stronger signals.
