Hello Joe, Due to numerous solar flares, lately propagation from your part of the world to the Netherlands has been very poor indeed. Despite the high sensitivity of Linrad's waterfall display, nothi
Hi Roelof, It was another lovely sunny day, good for working on the antenna farm and fixing the last winter's damage. Good to hear that you could hear the beacon in the recovering conditions. Thanks
Hello Joe, Propagation changed for the worst. Your signal is clearly visible, but no aural copy, I'm afraid! 73, Roelof, pa0rdt The following section of this message contains a file attachment prepar
Hi Roelof, Thank-you for the propagation and reception report. I'll leave the beacon on tonight and hope conditions improve enough for you to hear the sigs. 73 Joe Hello Joe, Propagation changed for
Interesting you did not got signals from Canada, Roelof It was a very good WSPR night for me Got two reception spots from WD2XSH/17 near Boston 2017-09-19 04:00 EA5DOM 0.475609 -27 0 IM98xn 1 WD2XSH/
Hello Luis, Propagation from west to east and east to west is not always reciprocal. Another important factor is lattitude. I believe that depening on the season at your location T/A propagation is m
Hello Joe, Your signal was just a tad stronger tahn yesterday and I had marginal aural copy. Best regards, Roelof == From: Roelof Bakker, PAoRDT Location: Middelburg, Zealand SW Netherlands, 51 30 02
Hi Luis and Roelof, Thank-you for the info and grabber. It is good to watch ones sigs on a remote grabber. I think WSPR needs a linear amp but opera does not so perhaps some opera in the future using

Hi Roelof, Sorry to hear about the poor condx. The TX power is now 80 watts so there should have been a 3 dB inprovement... Maybe things will get better tonight. 80 watts to the big RL until dawn. 73

Good News, Roelof, thanks. The TX is happily keying away until dawn. 73 Joe Hello Joe, I had aural copy towards sunrise. As you can see, the signals suffers a lot from fading. 73, Roelof, pa0rdt

Hello Joe, The signal was much better last night. I have attached an audio clip. This is made with Linrad using a 10 Hz wide filter. The keying sidebands are well within the filter passband. I believ
WSPR works with a noise bandwidth of 1.46Hz, and by virtue of the strong FEC, allows copy at a S/N IN THAT BANDWIDTH of about +4dB. This equates to -24dB S/N in 2.5kHz 10WPM morse has a noise ban
Hello Joe, I have not issued a report yesterday, as static interference was too bad. Today propagation improved further and static subsided a bit. I could achieve easy aural copy through the static c
Hello Joe, Propagation is slowly recovering and your signal is steadily improving. Excellent aural copy despite heavy static. 73, Roelof, pa0rdt The following section of this message contains a file
