This evening, quite unexpectedly, I got a string of reports on 500kHz WSPR from OH1LSQ
in KP03sd at an astounding distance of 1733km. To me these are amazing
reports pushing my best DX on the band with just a few milliwatts ERP to
new levels. What surprises me is how well a very simple vertical wire loop
works as a TX antenna: the wire is just 1mm diameter, with an area of around
70m square with part of the loop laying on the ground buried in wet grass. Even more than before, I now believe almost anything is possible. Now I just need to repeat this on 137.5kHz.... 73s Roger G3XBM -- http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/ http://www.g3xbm.co.uk http://www.youtube.com/user/g3xbm G3XBM GQRP 1678 ISWL G11088 |
