I took my antenna masts down because of the recent high winds, and was hoping to put them up again within a few days. But I went down with a bug that left me with no energy to do the mast work, and n
I have spent a few days experimenting with a mini whip active receiving antenna. As advised I decoupled the feeder by winding it around a ferrite core, and ensured the antenna was earthed to a stake
The antenna was bought from a Ukrainian company called Transverters Store on eBay. The page is at: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MiniWhip-Active-Antenna-Assembled-in-Box-HF -LF-VLF-mini-whip-sdr-RX-port
Roelof, Thanks for that information. As you will have seen from another post, my unit is the PA0HNC design sold from the Ukraine. Several other mini-whips can be found on eBay. My main reason for buy
There is no need to wonder how good your (or anyone's) receive syatem is. By using the databases for Opera and/or WSPR (http://wsprnet.org/drupal/wsprnet/spots) simply compare the reports you are giv
After almost a month, the weather and my health have improved enough for me to put my transmitting antenna back again. It took me nearly six hours of stretching, bending, lifting, pulling and ladder-

Roger, Looks like you need a new laptop. Take a look on eBay where you can find lots of 2nd hand laptops for a few pounds. Even quite high end desktops are available for less than £100 ex-business. M
Chris, It looks like you have a broadcast station where it shouldn't be (at 132.65kHz) and several other spurious stations in that area, so you may well have unwanted signals within the 136kHz band,
Thanks for the reply, it actually has 2 (in series) N1BUG band pass filters in front of it! I have always had this "noise hump" around the band, I once thought the filter (one...) had cured it, but n
DX conditions on the 136kHz band have been good recently. Last night K3RWR's WSPR was received here six times between 0515 and 0615 and again at 0738. A couple of days ago my daytime Opera32 transmis
Interesting results last night. N1BUG was received many times between 0008 and 0614UTC by G0LUJ who is on the north-west coast of England (4698km). But only once by 2E0ILY (4731km), at 0356, who was
Markus, do you know you can run the latest (more sensitive) WSPR and WSPR-X simultaneously to monitor both WSPR2 and WSPR15? It works fine here, though there is little WSPR-15 activity. Mike, G3XDV =
Interesting conditions this weekend. On Friday I received N1BUG's 133kHz WSPR2 transmissions a couple of times, on Saturday night he came through an amazing 23 times between 2326 and 0644UTC. But las
I will be monitoring. In fact I have been running WSPR-X (the necessary software for receiving WSPR-15) for a few days now. The computer uses Win-10 and the software runs reliably, but I am not sure
I was monitoring last night but WSPR-X crashed, so no results. I found I was not using WinXP compatibility mode, just the basic Win10. Now it's running 'compatibly' so I am testing it again. Mike, G3
I am sure that you could receive my Op32 transmissions. I will be doing some overnight transmissions over the next week, so perhaps worth downloading the Opera software. My QRSS60 and Op32 signals ha
Your WSPR-15 received here at 0600. Several WSPR-2 transmissions also seen at 0524, 0548 and 0554. Note that WSPR-X (the WSPR-15 receiving software, not to be confused with WSJT-X) is stable here pro
Seven WSPR-15 transmissions from N1BUG received last night on 136kHz from 0000 to 0600. Only three WSPR-2 transmissions seen from him. Bad weather here (through better than many parts of the UK) mean
I also received 4 WSPR-15 transmissions from you last night, Paul, over a longer timescale than the WSPR-2. Obviously mysoftware did not report it. Mike, G3XDV ==
