Since starting on 500kHz a few months ago with what is, by any measure, a TINY station in all respects (see my 500kHz page at http://sites.google.com/site/g3xbmqrp/Home/500k for more details) I've now managed to be received by a total of 63 different stations in 9 countries with the best DX being 960kms. Of these, 61 reports have been for my WSPR signal (all but two via the database) and two for CW contacts with Chris G3XIZ and Mal G3KEV. I much appreciate the SWL reports that have been received. I'm still trying to beat a personal target of 1000kms but remain 40kms short still. Whatever your views on WSPR it has been a *massive* incentive for me to keep experimenting on 500kHz. The on-line database Pete mentioned is *so* useful to me and other very low power stations as it gives almost immediate feedback on station improvements and propagation. Although I have tried to get a few CW QSOs it has been *much* harder going at 1mW ERP, as you would expect. Although I was planning to go back to 28MHz, I'm staying on 500kHz for a few more weeks, not least as the antenna and roof are frozen, so there is no chance of taking it down to make changes! Thanks for all the support and, if you are >1000kms from JO02dg I hope you have a good station and manage to winkle me out one evening soon, HI. 73s Roger G3XBM 2010/1/8 M0FMT > Hi LF > > For those who don't yet know all the WSPR reception reports by suitably > equiped stations are logged on a DATABASE.

Hi LF
=A0
For those who don't yet know all the WSPR=A0reception reports=A0b= y suitably equiped stations are logged on a DATABASE. This is almost real= time and can be filtered for BAND (say 500kc/s) and other parameters in= the usual database way.

WSPR transmissions at the stroke of midnight, 08.01.2010, from variou= s
stations, brought no less than 60 simultaneous reports from all over<= br>Europe.
