[IRCA] Morse Code----
Good morning.
I wrote a reply a while ago and have Ø idea where it went.
Anyhow, I am in Algona, Iowa which is about 120 miles north and a bit west
of Des Moines. We just moved here a few days ago. In detail this location
is:
Algona, Iowa 50511-3544
Latitude: 43.0648579 Longitude: -94.2305042
Elevation ? Ca.1,219?
EN23vb
The garage here houses my shack and is about 36 x 38 feet and about 25, high
to the peak of the roof and only about 7 years olde and well insulated and
with an attic plenty large for an apartment. At the moment my antenna is
about 100? of # 12 wire around the attic perimeter. I put in three 8? ground
rods yesterday and will bring the ground in with #4 wire for my station
ground. The only ground now is the ?green wire? on the AC. Not good.
The Morse was difficult to decode even with a good decoder app and it did
sound like a loop. It was a heterodyne beat and not MCW. The steady signal
between code had a bit lower pitch and would never be noted for frequency
stability! I will check again after a while.
The two strong MF signals here are KLGZ on 1600 and the airport NDB ?AXA? on
403 KHz.
BTW in my very informal listening 20 minutes last night I did receive 17
NDBs.
Travel safe!
73,
Doc ? KØHTF.
