Re: LF: 137.5kHz WSPR success

[Roger Lapthorn <rogerlapthorn@gmail.com>]

Thanks Gary.

I have some holidays coming up shortly so will have to give LF a break, but when at home I intend to screw another 10dB ERP from the system one way or other, which may allow my signal to be copied your way before Christmas.

Hi Roger,

I have been watching up here in the North West, nothing seen of course but you can be assured I will be monitoring.

Good Luck with your progress.

BTW, the blog is great.

Some success this morning with my second ever 137kHz WSPR report, this time from G3XIZ who got me up to -23dB S/N during the morning. According to the WSPR database the distance is 46km. BTW, the PA is running about 5W RF out (ERP about 10-20uW) in class-E with a nice cool heatsink. Next steps will be to increase the power and ERP.
