Ok Bob

And there was I thinking wspr  was  making false decodes .. yes I have  seen 
the  <....>  I thought that was  part of the wspr  qso  mode ....I have 
decoded the  full tx a few times .. so dose that  mean I have 
 captured -two-  transmissions  from you  ?

I would think (based on past experience) that  it  would of  been  better to 
go the  other  way  with a shorter tx pulse containing  all the  data as the 
30  second  in and  120 second  out  qsb times are not idea for  wspr at the 
best of  times ?

Interesting  Ae .. that layout  is  similar to  my set up, but my  top wires 
are 60 feet  shorter, but  with a  loading  coil at the  top of the 
vertical  section >>

Q what is the  rx set up ?
