Hello Gary, LF,

I'm getting a fairly reliable signal from you, with just enough QSB to
dip under the decoding margin from time to time.

As to power reporting, I see that most people on LF/MF are attempting
to estimate ERP, and use this figure in the beacon data.

There was much discussion on the WSPR forum on the merits or otherwise
of this approach, in the HF sphere at least.

It might be easier if we adopted the same approach as is recommended
for HF use - to report the actual TX power, not ERP.

I see your last beacon is reporting 3dBm! Wow... that really is "flea
power". Of course 2mW ERP from a small antenna won't go as far as 2mW
ERP from a large one.

Cheers,

John
