I'm pleased to report your 137kHz WSPR signal is now cons= istently coming in about -12dB S/N at 188km and this is off the side of th= e loop to a large degree. PA0A is also several dB stronger, so the preamp= in front of the FT817 is helping.

BTW, F6CNI always gave me great reports on 500kHz and far above that= from others at similar range. I wasn't complaining!
