Hi Terry & Graham,

 

My interpretation of 0 kms is that the station is testing at qrppp or zero RF (ie. dummy load etc) & decoding locally. Having done this myself the decode always reports 0 kms.

 

Other decodes from remote stations would normally show the true distance.

Hi Graham

 

I have  definitely not transmitted anything on 136 but I am a frequent listener to the Opera and send reports. I always assumed the ?0 km? reports are from Rx stations?  I copied G8HUH and some of the PA0s on Opera on Thursday at about the time shown but did not run Opera on Friday.

 

By the way, I tried the Opera chat function to send a private message to G8HUH ? it is a very useful feature for sending comments about signals etc. Quicker than the reflector.
