Re: LF: First of its kind?

[DK7FC <selberdenken@posteo.de>]

Hi John,

Well, i saw that spot in the morning and i have been on air in that time slot. Also the call is not a nonsense call and the locator is not somewhere in the sea :-)
But i had some doubts anyway. Never heared about this call. Does it fit to the country there? Do you even know the OM? Has he been active on that band to that time? Can he confirm the detection? -28 dB sounds ok. Would it have been -1 or so, i would guess that he listened to Twente webSDR :-)
More informations needed...

73, Stefan

Can anyone confirm whether the WSPR report by FR5ZX on Reunion Is. of Stefan, DK7FC, is a first of its kind?

Congrats - and great to see FR5ZX find success on 472 from such a remote outpost.

Also of note - Merv, K9FD/KH6 / WH2XCR, is now transmitting at 10-watts total power out while testing his system.  Once his impedance matching work is complete he will have 100-watts TPO available to him.  He did very well over night and I expect the future possibilies of being heard in EU might be similar to what has been done with VK and JA.  Please listen for him.

73 and thanks for any info you might have!
