Dear Paul-Henrik
Firstly I am very happy as this is now my best Dx on 500! Next stop
2000km!!
For 500 I use a "standard" set up of inverted L (10/40 with Heff of about
8m) and coil. Unfortuantely I am compelled to use an "RF sucking" silver
birch tree as a support.
Tx is an IC706mk2G giving out about 25W on 500.
RX is same rig.
Chris XIZ has a large and very impressive home brew beast of a Tx and a much
better aerial set up with a proper 10m wooden tilt over pole and a roach
pole support on his roof for the horizonatal run.
That will be why he's 25dB+ up on me over the same distance, he's always
"out-shouting me" ! :-)
Thanks again for the report though. I'll leave it running tonight too
With best regards
Jim
Dr. James Cowburn

Subject: LF: G7NKS's "ground heater" received in OH
LF
G7NKS WSPR signal was decoded regularly here from after UTC midnight until
0330UTC when there was a short power failure and my monitoring setup went
down.
This was unfortunate since signals seemed to be picking up.
As I remember it G7NKS uses a "ground antenna", please correct me if I'm
wrong
here.
Best SNR decode:
2010-09-12 03:14 G7NKS 0.503900 -25 0 IO92ub 0.02 OH1LSQ KP03sd 1775 38
Around the same time G3XIZ produced positive SNR numbers:
2010-09-12 03:16 G3XIZ 0.503851 +1 0 IO92ub 0.5 OH1LSQ KP03sd 1775 38
2010-09-12 03:06 G3XIZ 0.503851 +2 0 IO92ub 0.5 OH1LSQ KP03sd 1775 38
