Running two instances of Opera, one set to Op8 the other to = Op32.

Looks normal.

Remarkable   results  using   = OP8  on on  136  from  Stefan, =  Mike and  Tom  both  reaching  = TF3HZ    1858 Km   and   RN3AGC = / RX3QFM , though  not  at the  same  s/n level !, = but  both  decoding  inside the  OP8 limits =

 

While the condx, appeared  not to  = support  TA propagation  , this  would  be a  = good  opportunity  to  to  test the  OP32 = mode

 

Could we ask, those using  = Opera OP8   on 136 to  change to  OP32  = for  any overnight  or  other  beacon  activity = for comparison ?

 

OP32  offer's  a  6 dB lower  = decode s/n  , but  with  X4   longer  tx = 'times'  may  provide  range  extension greater = than  predicted  by  s/n , the  system working  = by  average  power  along the  time  line , = being  able to  take  advantage of  qsb  = and  flash  events ..

 

Thanks  All
