From F6CNI :

 

Hello, I give you some = info about=20 the MF reception of Dale VK1DSH signal here in France.

 

For 2 weeks, the = propagation between=20 EU / VK on 160=20 meters is = great, and I=20 had some CW QSO barefoot. I think that for this DX path the propagation = on MF=20 may be similar than on 160 m=20 ?

 

At the date of this = event, between=20 the Dale and Andy QTH, the best moment is a bit before the grey line = sunset in=20 France, when the sun elevation = is about=20 3=C2=B0. But on 160 meters that needs especially good propagation and = the opening is=20 rare and very short, 5 to 15 minutes only. This moment is now around = 1645 TU in=20 my QTH. A bit later, when the sunrise at VK land in grey line, that is a = second=20 short period for success, around 1920 TU. That is true only for south to = north=20 hemisphere DX.

 

For north / north path = (EU to east=20 coast or centre of States) the best moment is simply in the middle of = the night.=20 But perhaps for longer path, as west coast the sunrise in Europe is better = ?

 

My garden is quite large = but in=20 centre of the city, a noisy location. Antennas for LF / MF are an = 85 meters long Inverted L and a = K9AY. RX are=20 IC7200, IC706MK2 and a FT1000MP.

 

Only 3 miles away from my home, = there is a golf.=20 That is my second hobby. Due to the very bad weather in France for one month, there is = a very=20 little player=E2=80=99s activity. So a week ago I hang on border of the = golf a simple=20 beverage using a very light wire. About 500 or a bit more meters long = aiming to=20 80=C2=B0 azimuth. For the test yesterday I had in my car the IC7200 on = 473.5 USB and=20 a portable computer (only 2 hours of autonomy) with 3G. I stay on place = only=20 during 40 minutes. That is the story. I catch one spot from=20 Dale.

 

What that means ? The Beverage and not power = line helps a=20 lot giving a very low noise level. The use of the 473.5 USB QRG is good, = because=20 there is not any QRM on this frequency. And certainly a great = propagation day,=20 so I was lucky listening the good frequency at the best moment. What = about the=20 use of long period of TXing, as WSPR15 or QRSS ? For this very long = path, I=20 think that the opening duration time is too short for that use=20 ?

 

Now, as Dale said to me = in a mail,=20 one spot is not sufficient to valid that. So, I=E2=80=99ll try = again but it is=20 necessary for me to hurry, because the beverage antenna must be = dismounted in a=20 short time.

 

For information, I use some codes when I am = receiving LF,=20 MF or 160m:

 

    F6CNI : normal, listening only = WSPR2=20 F6CNI/2 : I am listening both WSPR2 and = WSPR15 (giving=20 F6CNI/15 reports for WSPR15)=20 F6CNI/RX1 and F6CNI/RX2 : I use 2 RX with 2 = RX=20 antennas=20 F6CNI/BEV : one RX is using the Beverage on = the Golf=20 location.

 

Best 73. Sorry my poor = english.
