Re: LF: 137.5kHz QRP WSPR [better]

[Roger Lapthorn <rogerlapthorn@gmail.com>]

Even stronger at 2146z (-19dB S/N) Dave. 

Even with the current ERP I'm beginning to get out with WSPR at last. Still running the transverter PA from 13.8V, so should be able to squeeze several more dB with higher supply volts.

These are the stations that have now reported my QRP WSPR signals on 137.5kHz so far. I don't think I've missed anyone. Until last week I was running <100uW ERP but I am now running around 500-600uW ERP and the difference is noticeable.

I switched back to the loop and twisted it around so that it favoured your direction...

Yes, still on Dave. Good luck!

Hi, Roger.

 

Are you still sending? I've just switched onto my onmi antenna from the 1.2m loop, which may have a null in your direction.

Over the weekend I'm testing with 137.5kHz WSPR again (136.0kHz USB dial setting). The ERP from the loop antenna is about 0.5-0.6mW and tomorrow I hope to raise this another 3-4dB.

So far, I have had reports from 8 different stations on 137.5kHz WSPR with best DX 251km and I am looking forward to seeing what a few more dB will do for me.

Any reports tonight and tomorrow will be appreciated.
