Graham es Co
I like to see a constructive discussion about different data modes ie any advantage one mode has vs the other.
While both Opera and Wspr have merit in their own unique ways there is a  problem with Wspr if the clock accuracy varies then no decodes are possible. I have experienced this myself on reception. Opera seems very user friendly and straight forward to implement and operate. Key the TX directly no transverter or ssb transmitter or time accuracy required and bingo you are in business.

Unfortunately the Op8 decodes from Reunion would be under Deep Search
 
Hi Luis HA HA  
 
Well , we know  wspr and  opera dynamic uses  the  same  correlation  technology , that's the  reason for the  text  look  up  table in each mode ...  AAA+ qualified without doubts ;-)  quite !!
 
However ,  Opera  uses  the  internet in more  elegant  way , not  just clock  setting, to  dynamically  validate the  spot , and as you  know ,  Opera  is not  a  time division  multiplex  system, so  false  dynamic  spots  have  nice  random  time  stamps  ..unlike  wspr , that  is time  locked  , so  the  real and the  imaginary  are  very  difficult  to  tell  apart .
 
The  work needed  to  separate the  dynamic  from the  op8 to the  psk-map  would be  extensive, due to  the  multi  path  reporting  system  , the  simple  work around  was to  split the  feeds .  Operas is a  complete  system , Tx and Rx , with intelligent   internet deployment. the  psk-map is only a  indicator  and not  the  output device , that's the  opera  application
 
wspr 15  was also a  failure , you  cannot  just  scale  up a  mode and  expect  it to  work and  has  unrealistic  hardware requirements,  notably ,  also  uses the  same  text  support table.
 
No need  to  improve  over the 60 watt's ,  would  be  enough  to  reach EU , G8HUH  used  100  watts  carrier power,  even -3 dB  would be  50 , the  Opera  decoder is  not  desensitised  by  strong  in band  signals , and in there lies  wspr's  problem , it was  never  designed to  accommodate  strong  in band  signals as  found  on  MF/LF.
 
But .. for   some, reality is  only a  secondary consideration.  like  opera  is  only  50% efficient ,  apparently when the  TX   off ,  then  it's   wasting  power on the  off  cycle ,transmission  depends on the  available  energy , if its  off half  of the  time ,  then it  has only used  Half the  energy ...

Hi Mal, Graham
 
Unfortunately the Op8 decodes from Reunion would be under Deep Search
 
And you know. Not considered "real" decodes by the purists and so, garbaje qualifyed
Not showed on PskReporter map, either
 
WSPR-15 may be another option, but stressing a PA for 15 minutes is not easy without nice matching
and not sure if that is possible there. A WSPR-15 decode should be AAA+ qualified without doubts ;-)
QSB on MF may be also an issue, for a 15 min WSPR TX, as previously discussed in this reflector
 
Anyway worth a try. I'm sure FR5ZX is trying to improve his Tx on MF and there are better conditions
to come on this band, ins't it ?. We have to be patient .....

Graham
Tnx info
If you could contact him and ask him to divert to  Opera reporting sometimes it would be interesting since quite a number of MF OPERATORS are active at present. It would be a worthwhile exercise and QRSS would also be worth trying for a real time QSO

Not  yet, as far as we know Mal,
 
Tom, G8HUH  asked  in the  yahoo  group after  his  wspr  spot ,  by the  report  Tom achieved,  FR5 , would  of made it back   to  Uk with his  60 watts in OP8 directly

It would be interesting to compare OPERA against WSPR at that distance to FR5ZX
also it would appear that a QRSS QSO would be possible on MF

Hi MF
 
Interesting conditions to Reunion last night
 
A total of 23 spots from FR5ZX. Only four stations reported
 
1 from G8HUH at -30
3 from SV8CS best -24
6 from DK7FC best -24
13 from EA5DOM best -19
 
From Rick Strobbe ON7YD reference site for LF antennas I have seen his calculations for a vertical
antenna with inductive topload. May be is the closer configuration to what I have managed to get here
 
 
There is no mention to the feeding point for such antenna. In my setup H(L) is 80m and I'm feeding
at the coil base. Total H is 80+11= 91m
 
The Ra calculated from Rick formulas is over 8 Ohm (not mOhm)
This radiation resistance seems too much to be true. But results are proving really outstanding
 
I'm just feeding the antenna with 70W, believe it or not and it is not really resonanting on WPSR frequency but on 488KHz
as I adjust the variometer up at the antenna and then run a coax line to shack which changes it all
 
The 80m pipe which forms the H(L) is really more complex in practice. It goes down to building basement
and there splits into different pipes. One connects to presure compressor and water tank. The other runs
underground 40m to the twin tower and then runs up again another 80m into the twin (parallel) tower
The pipe section running underground is not metal, but plastic. The iner water column should work as
current conductor. That water is confined in the pipes and presurized. Should be saturated with metal oxide
similar to a heating circuit, so probably the plastic pipe got metal deposits inside which make it even better
conductor than the water colum itself
 
Any thoughts ?? Am I getting >10% efficiency ??

From WSPR database, FR5ZX transmitted in 503KHz. Is 630m band not allowed in Reunión?

Hi Genosse Roman,

FR5ZX is using a resonated vertical antenna with capacitive top load near his house. He also transmits with this antenna.
