LF,
The new mode WSPR-15 performs very well on LF! Several transatlantic
decodes were achieved in my transmissions from friday to saturday. I'm
impressed.
It also looks that there was the first transatlantic WSPR-15 LFdecode
by WSPRs author Joe/K1JT.

I'm very happy about the good results and think that they are promising
for other stations as well! Maybe i can get a decode from Venezuela
some day.
Today there is shock ice here in south DL and i have a 5 mm thick ice
layer on my antenna isolators. I'm getting 2 A antenna current but the
antenna is totally out of resonance, the variometer is on the high-L
end. Most of the current seems to flow through the ice instead through
the radiation resistance ;-) Anyway i started the TX again in WSPR-15
on LF and in 50% TX mode. Maybe the ice melts soon so the resonance
builds up again :-)
Thanks to all monitoring and TXing WSPR-15 stations.
73, Stefan/DK7FC
