Chaps,

I'm aware that you've been using my WSPR reports to gauge the effectiveness
of your various QRP WSPR transmissions. I'm using a 80cm square tuned loop
at ground level with a fet pre-amp, feeding my trusty ICOM IC-PCR1000. I've
tried to keep the RX set up unchanged, but the loop is inclined to
"weathercock" around a bit, especially with the storms recently.

Also, my WSPR RX doesn't run 24x7, as I use the PC for other duties.

I went out this morning, and found that the loop is aligned along an axis
running 60 - 240 deg, which means that stations in the IO92 direction are
pretty much in the null direction. As an experiment, from 1214 UTC today I
have aligned the loop antenna in a 165 - 345 deg direction. To remove any
interaction with the main station "Tee" antenna, which is in the same
general area, I have disconnected this and moved my WSPR TX on to the short
vertical antenna, which is 30m away from the loop.

I'll swap the loop back to it's 60 - 240 deg orientation later on - I'll
announce when I've done this.

73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM
