My previous tests over the G3ZJO / G0KTN path have been consistent.
Trevor suggested trying to use the PA0 stations. I found a better
position for my 750mm square indoor loop and PA0OM was steady copy.
So now we change the TX station the RX station and the path now part
land part sea.
We chased OP4 and OP8 down to the noise floor 3dB lower and they both
failed to de-code.
No advantage can be seen in using OP8 instead of OP4 as in my previous
tests.
WSPR was tried and returned very similar S/N reports to OP4 and failed
at the lowest power level also.
