Hi Spiros,

 

you are welcome!

Unfortunately at the moment my tx antenna is out of service.. I need a no-rain (and possible now not very hot.... .. ) week end to fix it! then we have sure the chance for a qso, the tx was refurbished and now can also have few watts more. When repair the tx antenna will try also to increase the hight so will have 10% MORE LENGHT.

Hi Marco.

TNX for report OP-32.

I need a QSO on 136KHz with Italy (QRSS-30, or QRSS-10)

Hi Spiros & LF!

 

last night I made first attempt to Opera decode...

Unfortunately since some time I have a local noise which makes recption very interesting.. (huge humming snake) this makes the S/N very bad..

Davide, I1DDS, was so kind to put out  a refrence signal to test the setup:

2 wspr2 transmissions gave 1 no decode and 1 -9dB

an opera 8 trial was successful with -12 dB (qrb 8 km...)

this should give an idea of the noise level, and makes therefore me happy because was able to decode 3 transmissions of Spiros!

 

05:24    136 SA4DQS Op32 -38 dB
03:59    136 JH6MAZ Op32 -38 dB
03:55    136 FD1UGA Op32 -38 dB
02:48    136 SV8CS Op32 -29 dB
01:08    136 SV8CS Op32 -35 dB
    ***********  23/06/2013  *********** 
23:29    136 SV8CS Op32 -37 dB
20:35    136 I1DDS Op8 -12 dB
    ***********  22/06/2013  ***********

 

Further to decodes of Spiros I had also other decodes which are to be kept for next April 1st...

 

Of course, under those circumstances, no decodes of VO1NA... sorry Joe!
