You have a great QRO signal on all modes and on WSPR you are showing 7 –9
dB and well above all others which are showing on average minus 10-20 dB (-10 to
20 dB).
At present on 474.2 you are showing 2 dB at 1618 utc while DJ0ABR is
showing –16 dB, DM5RAE showing –15dB
You are also audible and showing 3dB now at 1628 utc.
I am currently RX’ing on a 40 metre quad loop N/S and TX’ing on MF with a
1/4 wave inv L at a height of 33 metres approx

At present I am happy with CW, QRSS and Opera on
MF/LF
That is fine.
I am sure if I had Wspr I would make it to FR5ZX like all the others, it
does not look difficult,
It is difficult but you
would make it, i agree.
BTW what is difficult?Some say:
"With your big antenna and QRO it is nothing special (=not difficult) to make
10000 km on LF"
Others say: "When living in such a quiet location
close to the sea, like you, receiving TA stations is nothing
special"
Or: "When transmitting LF QRP into a small antenna and
getting TA reports anyway, a "T" report once in 3 months, in exceptional good
condx, this is nothing special! It is just due to the good propagation, not due
to your work and skills"
Or: "Seeing a trace in VLF in "DFCW-60000" is
nothing special because it is just due the high integration times and signal
stability. Everyone could do it when having a station and signal generator like
you"
Or: "With your bought equipment, ready to use, developed and
built by others, it is easy to get good RX results. Nothing special! Not your
work. You just put it on the table, switched it on, choose the right frequency
and waited a bit"
So what is special?
I would say special is
when:
-You make the best out of your situation (QTH, money, time, R loss, R
rad, ERP) to arrange a working radio system and
-When you use that system
regularly!!! (kWh :-) )
-Work on your skills and try to improve the
system
-When you build your own stuff from the skills that you worked
on.
I would like a CW or QRSS 5 QSO with FR5ZX if he was suitably
equipped.
Me too. Maybe in the future, maybe.
Most MF signals are reaching long distances but unfortunately there
are not enough DX stations through the world listening or engaging.
cfm. But also, maybe in the future. The band
population is growing and FR5ZX is a good multiplicator for activity. I hope he
will stay.
