Hello Greg,
RR, then welcome to the group!
Your 20 m wire could produce WSPR decodes in a 1000 km range, if the
wire it not completely sourrounded by trees and if it has some distance
above GND. For CW you may need high power or a better antenna. But the
question is if your TRX provides the frequency stability needed for WSPR.
Is the automatic tuner separated from the TRX or do you have to feed the
wire into the shack? In principal you only need a coil and a ferrite
transformer to match the antenna to 50 Ohm at MF. The material is
available from the net or local markets such as BAUHAUS ;-)
Don't hesitate to ask if you need more concrete help/advice.

Hi Stefan,
Yes, I‘m new to the LF group. I started listening to MF/LF last winter and joined the group a couple of
weeks ago. At the moment I use the Mini-Whip for listening, it is installed high up directly under a roof without
isolation. The RX/TX is a Marine radio mfg. ca. 1995 by Skanti from Denmark, Model TRP825xMF, 250W Max. Output on
MF with an automatic ATU. But I haven‘t yet managed to get up a half decent TX antenna for MF. For HF I use
a 2-Element Yagi and a 20m long Endfed wire. I own a few of these old Skanti radios and use them regularly on the
HF bands, mainly for CW, but only one radio has the MF PA-Filters installed. The town here is called Rimbach, Loc.
JN49jo, and I live right in the Center of it, so it‘s not the worlds quietest QTH, but not that bad either.
Space for long antennas is limited, the house itself is big but the estate is small. I‘m open to
experimenting, but I must confess that I‘m not the worlds most technical guy, having studied Life Sciences
(Pharmacy) in Heidelberg and making my living by selling legal drugs (=Pharmacist)

Hello Greg,
thanks for the reports from 20 km distance :-)
It is the first time that i see you on the map and that i read from you here.
Are you a new memeber? :-)
20 km is an interesting distance for local tests on lower frequencies :-) Do
you live in a quiet location or is there a lot of QRM arround?

Moin Stefan& Group,
WSPR-15 signals very well received over a distance of ~20km :-) No other
signals though.

Betreff: LF: WSPR-15 weekend
Hi LF, I'm going to spend the night at WSPR-15 on 137.620 kHz again. If someone
is interested to join or to try to decode, don't hestiate ;-)
