You're welcome on the screenshots.

 

One or two dB can make a big difference on an FFT screen and are worth the effort. Always working to improve the receive system here but improvements at this point are relatively minor. Laws of physics and dimishing returns getting in the way ...

Jay,

 

thanks very much for the report and screenshots! This is very much appreciated, and I'm still excited about each crossing.

 

The equipment is still pretty much the same. There were a few optimisations in the antenna matching but the improvement was no more that one ot two dB. With 300 W drive I am now getting about 3.6A antenna current, which should be about 0.7 W ERP. 

 

Best 73,

Markus

NM made several appearances into CT last night ... the following is the best capture of the lot.
Will forward other captures directly. Any changes in your TX setup? Don't recall seeing your signals
this early in the season in previous years ... peaked around 10 dB s/n in 28 mHz. DST has been quite
favorable the past few days.

Must not forget Stefan as well ... but he is a bit of a 'regular' here ;~)
