WSPR RX

Hooked the radio to the PC downloaded the software and in about an hour I was receiving WSPR signals.   Going to set it up to see how well my 80 1/4 does on RX!

This morning there were 3 reports from Europe over a 90 minute period... 

Conditions were not the greatest ... K3 

Here is the DX 10 during the same period compared to VA3UAL  ( same grid square ) 

  Altogether there were 11,152 reports of receiving my Beacon.   Keep in mind there were 152 unique stations that received me.    

  On three different days between 11:30 pm and 01:00 am est I got to Europe with 0.2 Watts.    

 I am going to move the beacon to the 30m band sometime this week.  I have ordered a 2 Watt Amp and I will repeat the 80m test with the higher power.  Also purchased another WSPRlite its going to be a great way to compare antennas.  

 

80 Meter Beacon Overnight

the 200 mw 80m beacon attached to my 1/4 Vertical for the past 12 hours ....
















Not making it to the West Coast nor am I getting to Europe conditions are not quite as good tonight.

Going to switch it up to 30m sometime next week.  

DK land this time.

Just had my second reception report from Europe  a German Ham ,  DK6UG received my 3.594098 200mw WSPR Beacon Transmission 2017-02-03 @ 06:10 Z and the signal was reported at 19 db below the noise floor.

The reception is surprising considering the KP index being 3 at the moment bit then again these solar storms bring some interesting propagation.
