Thanks to John , for running the test
and the many station's who set up Rx
to monitor.
Last nights tests by John, W1TAG/WD2XES
resulted in what seems to be the
biggest 136KHz event so far of
the life of the Opera data mode.
With 1 watt ERP these are
outstanding results considering the time of
the seasons . over 800 miles inland
and 3000 + miles over the Atlantic ....
Propagation 'people' may now comment on why
no decodes in Iceland or into Europe ?
Good luck with the future tests !
