I will run it again-same time same station! 
Mike D. and Hartmut are down at the moment doing upgrading and Mike had to lower his antenna as big storm was blowing in.  Gave me excuse to come to 137 as wanted to try OPDS anyway.  Thanks-Bob

Hi Bob,

 

don't know, some of the recently emerged opds monitors might appreciate more Opera-32 from you.

 

From my personal point of view, just go as you please ;-) On 137 kHz, I'm anyhow running opds continuously, along with the TA slot grabber (haven't seen a nice QRSS or DFCW signal there for a while). Due to lousy WX, I've temporarily taken the "big" (well not really big) antenna down, so no transmissions and no 74 kHz receptions from this end for a couple of days.

 

Best 73,

Markus

Markus;
Thanks for FB info.  I have to learn the reporter better as I saw only 3 stations [OP32] and no OPDS32 stations.  Your DS OP32 is really something to hit YV7MAE first night!  Last year with WSPR 15 it was hit and miss and same with QRSS 60.
I can try something else for tonight if you might suggest?  Stefan told me yesterday if I was stable to try OPDS 32 for YV7MAE and he will be pleased to see I was able to hit.
Let me know what else to try or just run the OPDS32 again tonight on 137.535?  Bob

Hi Bob,

 

that was quite a successful activity! PSKreporter states multiple receptions of WE2XEB by KU4XR, KA9CFD, W0YSE and W1TAG/1 using "classic" Opera software. You were also detected by YV7MAE, W1VD, TF3HZ and DF6NM using Opds correlation.

 

Here's a screenshot showing your stable carrier in my 0.438 mHz opds spectrogram:

Any plans for tonight?

 

Best 73,

Markus (DF6NM)

WE2XEB NY has taken over the transmitter for tonight and next couple days.  Dex WG2XRS/5 should still be hammering away on 73 band I am sure.  Bob
