Re: LF: WSPR stations in central Europe - please listen through the night

[Roger Lapthorn <rogerlapthorn@gmail.com>]

Thank you Piotr. I do understand the noise issue. 

I plan to run 500kHz WSPR until around the end of January so there are several days still yet. After that I will need my small mast for some HF antennas to allow me to test some homebrew 10m gear.

Yes, Andy is a "big gun" signal. I think you could describe mine as a "water pistol" , HI.

If you have a well equipped, sensitive, 500kHz WSPR station in Poland, Sweden, Austria, Czech Republic or at a similar distance from S.England please leave your RX running for the next few nights and keep a close watch for G3XBM around 503.900kHz +/-20Hz.

Hi Roger,
I  do listen to wspr,  however,  it is not done on a daily basis. I live in a downtown area of  Lodz  so the EM noise is terrible,
 street lights around, different electric devices of my neighbours etc..
My best achievement on 500kHz is a positive decode of Andy , G4JNT wspr signal ( abt 1400km)  but his 200 mW erp pwr  makes him
a "big gun" when compared to  1mW :)
I  saw Lubos, OK2BVG  reply to your mail  so i guess it is a matter of days ( may be even hours ..)  that the  >1000km  barrier
is broken....At the mid of february i will have a few days  off   and i  will go outside town. Likewise Lubos
 i will take my  computer, rx setup etc..so this is going to be a chance to see you  on my screen.
As i  will have internet access there  i will issue a notice whether  i am qrv for this 1 mW challenge :)
