This may be of interest for your next exploit ...

Looking back in my 500 kHz log, I see that on 1/3/2010 I had a CW QSO with WD2XSH/35 in South Dakota ... who was running a full size 600 meter dipole. As I recall his antenna was relatively low at 30 or 40' above ground and he was running only 50 or 100 watts. His signal was weak but solid copy over the few nights that he was active. Distance was 1210 mi / 1950kM. Believe his antenna was 'out in the open' as he apparently owns a good sized farm.

Hi Graham,

Well, as often announced i want to do some tests with a full size dipole for 630m. Maybe the signals will be very weak. QRSS is not usual on MF and so Opera or WSPR will be useful for the tests. However i would have no internet access during the tests...

BTW which information is contained in one OP message? Just the callsign or the callsign+locator?

73, Stefan

Thanks Stefan

Main thing is , that all stations have the same mode set , but if you are using the windows software , the internet beacon will show the mode , OP8 or OP32 ... this is where the PIC based systems have a problem. but if the tx is remote , its possible to simply run Op on a web linked PC to beacon via the web ..

Monitors can run X2 Opera , one set to OP8 , the other OP32 , with some CPU overhead , but not a problem on a 'new' pc better , just the one session.

If you have a day selected, then can post to the user groups, to ensure the maximum number of Rx stations
