Keep in mind we are experiencing a solar storm right now and 600 meters
will be up & down with good signals down to nothing at other times. This
is a very bad night to judge the new antenna setup.

Dear MF/LFers,
As promised, I'll be testing my QRPp 500kHz WSPR beacon using the earth
electrode "antenna" again from 8pm UK time this evening. I'll keep this
running until at least midnight. Last night 4 stations reported me and
I was able to decode 6 stations with best DX being PE1GRL.
I'd appreciate any reports, ideally via the WSPR database. With ERP
appearing to be around 6-8dB down on the vertical (i.e. around 200uW) it
is possible that quite a few more stations could copy me despite this
oddball way of getting a signal launched into the ether!
Thanks in advance for looking for me.
