Thanks very much Jay, Terry and Chris
for taking the effort to receive and report our experiment, and of
course to Stefan for suggesting it in the first place. I think the expected
gain in sensitivity is evident, even though there is
no "miracle machine" of course. I have now
ended the WSPR-8 transmission from Nuernberg for today.
How would you like to proceed from here? Try
WSPR-32 next? Perhaps a slow WSPR experiment on MF? Or wait for Joe's
8-FSK mode JT8 which might knock off another dB?
BTW I don't use a transverter for MF,
but an FE-5680A Rubidium synthesizer which can be controlled to
generate WSPR directly.
Best wishes, and have a nice Sunday,
Markus (DF6NM)

Thanks for the test signal ... and thanks
to Markus and Wolf for the tools! Got in early evening and was hurrying to
get things patched together and lined up ... thus the frequency mistke on
the first decode.
Dst is at a favorable at -16 nT but static is up a
bit tonight due to a cold front approaching to the west. In fact, thunderstorms
are predicted so I may have to make a quick exit a bit later!
Congrats to you and Markus!

How do you
estimate the conds today? From your experience, is the SNR improvement of
WSPR-8 significantly? Hard to estimate if it is really 6 dB...
Will see how
things proceed in the night.
8 minutes is still a good time to detect
changes in propagation..
