Hello Everyone,
I'm at step 20. Got receiver working and was able to tune in to ham stations in a 3000 km radius on a 20 and 40m using just two Petlowany coils sticked behind the window as antenna.
Quite an achievement!
The only thing which bothers me is a spurious screen on 14mhz. On 7 and 10 mhz there is only a smalish spike in the middle of the screen, but 14 mhz looks like a hacksaw (screenhost attached)
Could it be result of a bad assembly (bad transformer winding, grounding problems?) or a software misconfiguration?
I'm using Linrad 03.46 on GNU/Linux x64. Will try to setup a Quisk and check if there are spikes on a Quisk screen.
All the Best,
Nazim
