If you could SEE my TX, "antenna" and ATU you would realise how amazed I am at this report from G3XVL. My antenna is literally 15m of low horizontal wire with about 2m of it vertical, a central heating ground and an ATU on the bedroom table made from a ferrite rod and fed with 700mW from a 2N3906/2N3904. This proves that 500kHz is possible with a really minimalist station. I can only imagine what will be possible with some effort on my part.

Today has been one of the most enjoyable since I got my licence in 1967. Thanks to everyone on this list for encouraging me.

Roger,
I can beat that your reception report from Ipswich, Suffolk

well done,

All of 3kms away (whoa DX!!) but I just got my first WSPR report on 500kHz:

2009-09-13 20:04 G3XBM 0.503908 -6 0 JO02dg 0.001 G6ALB JO02dg 0 0

2009-09-13 20:02 G3XBM 0.503910 -12 -1 JO02dg 0.001 G6ALB JO02dg 0 0

At least the signal is getting across the fields at the back of the house. Andrew G6ALB is in the next village. You can see by my report that I have a LOT of work to do....
