Thanks both (Rik and Paul-Henrik)
I noticed when I, ehhh the WSPR program decoded DI2AF correctly others
did that too.
The sigs where chopped by QRN, SpecLab gave a trace but WSPR didn't
decode assume he didn't get the sequence correctly.
I'm using a TS440 which can't switch off the AGC by nature.
So reduced the gain and turned up the LF gain to get a proper feed for
the WSPR decoder.
At the moment there is a small trace visible.
About Paul-Henrik location, I associated Finland as relatively low noise
area.
But assume that the delta loop is doing a fine job.
Tonite there is less QRN will give another run.

Hello Jan& Gerhard!
Regarding Jan's question: There is no secret really, my QTH is not noise free by
any means. For example 160m is useless for SSB signals much below S7 while 600m
is way better but far from ideal. Daytime MF reception is poor but the
nighttime rise in both QRN and signal strength tends to even out the odds, ie.
typical suburban conditions.
I think the "secret" is simply as you suggest, the abscence of really strong
in-band signals although DI2AM is still a good signal. I haven't played with
disabled AGC and RF (IF) gain on 505.1kHz WSPR but should probably do so
because I visually note many missed decodes.
I'm using an ICOM IC-R75 and a 4x4x4m tuned& amplified delta-loop pointing
approximately towards England, hence covering most of the European sector of
interest while reducing local noise slightly.
