Unexpected  OP4/477K run  last  night , inside the  ros-mf-2  decode  level  ,

but for a  2  way  qso   who  could  make -26  dB  at the  other  end  ?

 

G,

 

 

+ 8 dB  over  250  miles  range , that's  6 dB more than I see at  25  miles  ! ,

1 watt  erp  would be  -20 dB lower  , putting  these  in the  -44 dB  range - closed  may be  , as 1 watt  erp  would  never decode  wspr-2  or op4 ?
