Markus, i would agree to move to WSPR-32 now. Same QRG. Will be interesting to see the new spectrograms and the possible distances!

Assume that you and Markus will be operational in WSPR-32 during the overnight as well? If you can, please TX running until shortly after your sunrise.

Hi Markus, Jay, Terry, Chris, LF,

Thanks for the yesterdays WSPR-8 tests!

Somehow i thought there would be a more general interest in these experiments but maybe it is to complex? Don't know... Another effect may be that we try daily change the modes. But this is experimenting. I hope that WSPR-32 will be a more serious alternative. From what we saw in WSPR-8, WSPR-32 must be very promising and i'm optimistic to have a decode from Venezuela!

W1VD is very bulky :-)
There were 11 decode by W1VD:

Only 2 of them would have been in the range for WSPR-2 decodes. So the slower mode certainly helped to cover a wider time range.

There are 3 grabbers showing the occupied bandwidth of WSPR-8 and later WSPR-32:

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)
