Thank you Stefan
Forgot to mention I'm transmitting WSPR-2 + Opera8 frames consecutively
Using Deep Search Op8 I have got many reports from Iban EB3FRN and David EA1FAQ
The closer station is Maxi EA5CV. But he lacks a good Rx and antenna for MF
Unfortunately there is no interest at all in the local hams for activities other than DX pileups in HF
and summit activations on 40m during weekends. Ah! .... and some digital voices modes too
My best reference is my own Rx site at 7Km using MiniWhip and Perseus + SDR-Console V2
which provides up to 6 VFOs sending each the audio stream to a different decoder
The nice side of QRPP is that any small change worth the efforts. And there is plenty of room for improving !
Tx running 7/24. Water cooling the 2xBS170 but it worths !!! ;-)

Hi Luis,
Your MF WSPR transmissions are most apprechiated. I like to read about your progress and i'm looking forward to a first decode!
RX is running. TX is running in 20% ratio, also leaving a trace for the other EA stns.
There are a few more EA stns receiving. Some are very close to you. Are they from your local radio club?
What is the current output power? I don't know much about the Ultimate-3. Guess it is not above 2.5W, so the 25W PA will at least improve your signal by another 10 dB.
Maybe it will become an active WSPR evening/night? QRN is extreme here though.
73, Stefan

Vey nice test Andy. Thank you for sharing your results
I'm also transmitting QRPPP (may be with one more "P") with just the Ultimate-3 connected to antenna
Have been using a vertical 11m high without coil. But last week I finally installed a 70m perimeter loop
and managed to get it tuned to 477KHz. On my monitor at 7Km I have imporved by 10dB with the loop
I'm transmitting WSPR-2 and Opera8. So far have got my first (and only) WSPR report from about 500Km
at David EA1FAQ. And last night got a few decodes from Iban EB3FRN
I don´t know which is my ERP. But can be probably well under 1mW ??
Next step is an small 25W PA. But for the moment will keep on QRPPP

Congratulations. QRPPP is certainly fun and a real challenge for the RX stations.
