The FT 847 is good on 500 khz with a good antenna. I have one here but the Datong UC/1 upconverter IF 144 and 28 mhz fed into the ICOM 746 is better. Those using the mini whip are doing well but it is no substitute for a real antenna like a 1/4 wave or large loop if you have the space and a quiet environment. 73 Mal/G3KEV ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary - G4WGT" To: Sent: Monday, December 24, 2007 11:07 AM Subject: Re: LF: WSJT JT2 again tonight > Hi John, Jay, LF, > > Better results this morning, several hits for Jay (WE2XGR/2) & one only for > John (WE2XGR/3), see attachment showing the 2 data lines. > > I used two set ups with 2 instances of WSJT running with the following, > quite surprised at the results :- > > 1 - Yaesu FT-847 with PA0RDT mini-whip at 9 metres high. > 2 - JRC NRD-345 with 500 KHz top load vertical at 12 metres high. > > Results = number 1 set up won hands down as shown above & no hits with > number 2 setup. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- No virus found in this incoming message.
