Stefan: Yes I noticed the time and frequency were off after sending the first e-mail.  I was under the assumption that WSPRX was not using a predictive algorithm for call signs, apparently that is not the case.....

 

Nil on the recent 137.172 QRSS attempts here the previous few evenings....

Hello Mike,

Interesting. And odd, yes, bacause i did not transmit in the 23:04 UTC time slot.
Thanks for trying to receive me. I bet it will take some weeks until MF TA detections are possible again, maybe except to the UK west coast.

Hi All: I'm not sure what to think of this....

I have been experimenting with IF shifting my radio to get WG2XJM very strong signal 10 to 13 dB down the IF bandpass

 

curve to improve weak signal reception of other stations when Eric is transmitting.  Odd sunset partial captures appear

 

to be transatlantic, but I am not sure about reality with this data. My EWE antenna was configured to favor a SE direction, but with

 

120 degree 3dB beam width pattern it covers the NE as well.   Long distance transition zone propagation is a possibility, but I

 

would be hesitant to claim it not having received correct grid square information......
