Is there a source of data for natural and man made noise, as pick up by an isotopic antenna (or dipole which will be about 2dB higher) in dBm value, either a) based on 'fixed paper model" as page 5 of ITU-R document, R-REC-P.372-13-201609 b) actual measurement or 'daily' prediction of 'atmospheri

Is FT8 and psk31 generally use around 20 to 30 watts maximum, as a "social rule", so that one station would not be too strong as to mask out other station, due to agc of rig? On Saturday, December 29, 2018, Jim Brown wrote: > On 12/28/2018 4:54 PM, Simon wrote: > >> Hi K9YC, >> >> Many thanks fo

Hello Simon, The straight vertical lines in the waterfall are harmonics of a stable clock, perhaps your computer. The "wavy" vertical trace around 7054 looks like the noise from a mains-powered noise source like a switch-mode power supply or variable-speed motor controller -- the clue is that

The reason for the very low noise floor is mainly your antenna. You are using more or less a very short length "Beverage" antenna. Google Beverage Antenna Joe WB9SBD Sig The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle Tyme Idle-Tyme.com http://www.idle-tyme.com On 12/28/2018 10:27 AM, Simon wrote: This i
