Hi, Roger.

 

Nothing seen from you so far today, or overnight last night. I'll leave the RX running until Sunday night.

Hi All,

Working on my 137.5kHz QRP transverter and will be TXing and RXing on 137.5kHz WSPR on and off during the weekend, so I 'd appreciate any reports. There are not that many people looking on 137.5kHz WSPR (136kHz USB dial) within my range, which is around 50-150km maximum.

At the moment I'm combining the RX preamp with the TX part of the transverter and optimising the combination. I use the RX part "straight through" via a tuned preamp using the FT817 in split mode RXing on 137kHz. This simplifies the design and should avoid relays or TX/RX switches.
