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

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
