So far so good !
Stefan's test using OP8 has
already achieved 7 decodes over 1000 KMt
, many of the decodes are showing 10 dB
or higher over the minimum decode level for
OP8 , others are down to 0 or + !
22:41 136 DK7FC de G8HUH Op8 529 mi +0 dB in
IO81mg
Decode by TF3HZ -31 dB was made with
the path in full daylight , notably , there was
a considerable time before the next decode ,
Stefan advised, the power o/p remained the same ,
so could this be one of the 'flash
openings' talked about, caught by the 8 min
cycle time ?
