Hi Markus, All, Try to imagine how pleased I am! When I began transmitting again three days ago I was hoping I might receive even one weak report from across the pond. I was not expecting anything li
Hello Markus, All, I think I have been very lucky with the antenna. I am running only 150 watts but I am being heard. There are many trees which surely steal some of my RF. I have not yet tried trans
OK Stefan, Bill, So the problem is Windows 10. Unfortunately that is all I have available. Even if I had an older version of Windows to install, it would take days to get everything configured again.
Good question Mike. A minor note: I received two spots from G0MRF/P last night and one from EB8ARZ/2 (not European of course, but still trans-Atlantic). That makes a total of 3 T/A spots for me last
I am off the air for a day, maybe longer. I cannot keep the antenna resonated in the rain. I'm not sure yet, but I also suspect I have some problems with the coil. I will announce when I begin transm
Congrats Stefan and Jay! Amazing work! 73, Paul On 02/19/2018 09:41 AM, [email protected] wrote: Stefan's transmission: *f = 8270.1000 Hz Start time: 12.FEB.2018 22:32:00 UTC (daily) Symbol peri
I know that Steven, K9AN had already programmed a new WSPR-15 decoder 2 or 3 years ago, but it was never released. Maybe our US friends can dig deeper and push a little bit? Some have but there are n
Interesting. I didn't know about that. I suppose we need to develop our own tools from within the LF community as we are too small to attract attention from without. I'm trying Windows 7 compatibilit
My coil appears to be OK. Apparently the rain caused much greater detuning than I had expected based on limited prior experience. Things are slowly returning to "normal"... My tentative plan for toni
What are good and bad WSPR frequencies in EU for 137 kHz? I believe there are issues with QRM from / to OPERA but I can find no information on exactly what range OPERA uses. I have been running on 13
I am switching to WSPR-2 only, 33% duty cycle for tonight. The power supply was getting too hot trying to run WSPR-15 and I was not happy with the compromise antenna tuning between the two frequencie
Hi Stefan, You need an automatic variometer. A phase meter that steers a motor which turns a variometer coil inside your main coil. On LF i had a very high Q system and has to use such an application
Thank you Rik and Stefan. My understanding is: For WSPR-2, stay between 137.425 to 137.450 or 137.550 to 137.570. For WSPR-15, stay above 137.618. Rik, your screen capture was very enlightening. 73,
Hi Stefan, I have seen that M0BMU circuit before, as part of a larger document from which I built my scopematch. I would like to see your circuit for steering the motor. This will give me something t
Hi Stefan, Thanks for sharing your circuit. It is very interesting, much simpler than I imagined. It has been added to my project list! 73, Paul In the attachment... 73, Stefan Am 22.02.2018 13:38, s
Yesterday's release of WSJT-X 1.9.0rc2 came with this note: "Improved decoding performance for WSPR mode, especially effective at LF and MF". I wanted to put this to the test so overnight I ran four
Last night 1.9 continued to have a clear advantage but by a much narrower margin that the first night. In 12 hours ending 1100z: LF 178 decodes with 1.9, 174 with 1.8 MF 890 decodes wtih 1.9, 838 wit
Last night I received 2E0ILY with signal up to -12 on WSPR2. Chris was very clearly audible in headphones and I could have easily copied CW at that level. Amazing! This was a new record high signal l
Tonight I am transmitting WSPR-15 and WSPR-2 on LF. My WSPR-15 transmissions have a CW ID at the end. WSJT-X 1.8 and 1.9 side by side tests continue but there will be fewer total decodes due to high
