Some have indicated they needed practice measuring the frequency of unknown stations quickly. I added an extra unpublished band in this FMT. At the end of the 40 meter run I announced (several times) that I would QSY to 17 meters. Several reported hearing the QSY announcement but only Ed, K1GGI submitted a reading.

| WD4GYN | TN | Could not copy/hear the 20M, or 30M signals, 40M had quite a bit of QSB, will be in bed before the 80M & 160M signal come on. Had fun will attempt more as you have them. 73, Steve WD4GYN | |
| WB9FIP | WI | The 80 meter Difference frequency had much more spread on it than last month, but may be due to a different receiver used. I will be examining this possibility. | |
| WB0LXZ | KS | Home-brew GPS/PC/OCXO is finally operational here. Let's see if it helps any. -bill | |
| WA2DVU | AL | 20m - GOOD SIG 30m - COULD HEAR YOU BUT TONS OF QRM 40M WEAK AND SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE TRYING TO ZERO BEAT YOUR SIG. THANKS FOR THE TEST. | |
| WA1ABI | RI | Could only do the late sessions tonight. Good signals, static starting to build. Thanks Connie and Marvin. | |
| W9TJ | IL | 20 very weak both directions, cw ID difficult, backscatter both, with beam away 0.52 hz higher. No sig 30. 40 good sigs, wild phase excursions. 80 good sigs. 160 good sigs with QSB. West coast weak S3 with QSB. 80 meter difference calculated from carriers. | |
| W6OQI | LAX | I am glad to report that signals were good on all bands for today's FMT. | |
| W5UFZ | AZ | Good sigs all bands except 30 meters- 5-6-9 qrm/qsb Thanks for the test. | |
| W4AVO | VA | Tnx for another good FMT. Copy on all signals incl west coast- some good-some not so. | |
| W3JW | VA | The doppler was a "real bear" on both 80M and 40M here. Signals on all bands were of good "measurable" strength. | |
| W2HV | WNY | I believe that these test are extremely important to those of us who are interested in measurements. My set up is simple. I use a Yaesu FT-990 receiver. In order to get 0.1Hz resolution, I use Digipan as a readout. Just before a measurement run I calibrate my set up on harmonics of my homebrew GPSDOCXO and calculate a straight line correction of the 999 + Digipan frequency, then apply correction as indicated by the calibration curve. | |
| W1PW | AZ | Used the FT-817 again for this test along with SL to resolve below the 817's 10 Hz steps. Didn't get the 40m reading because I forgot to write down the dial setting(!!) Aargh! Heard your call QSY to 17m. No 17m target freq was announced so assumed it was same as prior times: 18077000-where I looked but never heard anything. Sigs on 20m E:579; W:599. 40m was 579/QSB, 30m was 339/rapid QSB; 80m was 589; 160m was 449/QSB; WC was 579 with lots of Doppler and rapid QSB. Thanks, Connie, for giving us this combination of challenge and fun! | |
| W1BX | VT | Trying out a rubidium reference for the first time. WWV at 10 mHz is no longer useful here due to a very close heterodyne. | |
| W0PHD | MN | sure more fun then shoveling snow - thanks connie! | |
| VE2AZX | QC | Hi Connie, Strong signals, excepted on 30m. The difference freq. on 80m was measured separately in AM mode, using a 2nd computer. Lots of doppler on 40m. Thanks for another great FMT ! Jacques VE2AZX | |
| N8OB | OH | Trying something different (again). Good signals on all freqs but couldn't be home for the 40M run. | |
| N5LBZ | MS | Propogation was lousy this time on 20 & 30 I never heard Connies ID but I did hear a constant carrier so I measured that I'll find out if it was the right signal. On 40M Connie had a great signal. We had company for dinner so I was not able to do the 80M FMT. | |
| KD2BD | NNJ | Copied K5CM about 559 on 80 meters with some low frequency AM ripple (maybe 2 Hz) on both F1 and F2. The second keydown period (after the ID interval) was too short to re-tune and get a reading on F2. Signals on 160 were too weak to measure. I was able to get two solid 100 second readings on W6OQI's 80-meter signal, and there was a 0.25 Hz delta between the two. Doppler oscillations of about +/- 0.1 Hz were observed on CHU (3 MHz) prior to the 80-meter FMT. The Kp index was 1. | |
| K9KK | OK | Used Single HF Transceiver method..Signal strength in Norman, Ok was S5-20m, S0-30m, S9-40m, 20/9-80m, and 30/9-160m. Appeared to be an equipment failure at the fmt station for tne 80mf2 and also near the end of the 160m run. Hope everything is OK. Enjoyed it an waiting for the next FMT | |
| K6YAZ | LAX | Unable to hear well enough on 40 meters to measure. Same on 80 meters F2. 160 meters good signal to noise ratio. Trying to make changes to technique soon. Thanks to Marvin and Connie for your efforts to challenge us. Stuart | |
| K6OQK | LAX | 20 and 30-Meter signals were pretty strong. 40-Meters was good with some quick, deep fades with wild phase rotation. 160-Meters was fairly weak but reasonably steady. I really blew the two signal 80-Meter FMT. Got myself into a dither and wound up with only a partial reading for 3567. It was cold and raining, Margaret was out runing errands so it was a good day for FMT's. Connie and Pam - thanks for another great round of FMTeeing. Burt, K6OQK | |
| K6APW | EB | Same delta in AM as calculated difference! 160M in noise. | |
| K5CM | OK | Marvin, good signal on 80 meters. Thanks for doing the West coast run. | |
| K1GGI | EMA | Great copy on 20m, sharp spectral lines.30m could be way off - my notes may have failed me. | |

*Burt is 8 miles from Marvin and can copy his ground wave most times.
Capture of Marvin's 80 meter signal.
Transmitting equipment used by K5CM for this FMT:
A HP-Z3801 GPS clocks a HP-3336B and a PTS-250. A 10 db transistor amp follows and drives a 12BY7 / pair 6146. Then to the final amplifier, a Dentron 2500 running 400 watts on 160m, 225 watts on 80m, 250 watts on 40m, 150 watts on 30m, and 300 watts on 20m. There are no mixers or any device in the chain of amplifiers that might impact the accuracy of the HP-Z3801. As a reality check, I periodically log the HP-Z3801 against WWVB. I monitor each transmission with a completely separate receive system to look for any instability or short term drift. The separate system is not locked to the GPS but calibrated by the GPS system before the FMT.
Antennas:
160 - Vertical
80 - Cage Dipole (favors East, West, and North)
40 - Dipole (favors East, West)
30 - Dipole (favors East, West, and North)
20 - 4 Element SteppIR Yagi
Current W6OQI FMT transmitting equipment:
My Transmitting setup consists of a HP Z3801 clocking a HP 3336B which drives a Johnson Viking I transmitter, the output of which is attenuated by a 6 db attenuator, to then drive an Icom PW-1 amplifier to about 500 watts. The antenna is an inverted Vee which favors north and south from the Los Angeles area.
Note: Because I put the results up quickly, there will be mistakes, so don't hesitate to point them out quickly.
