OK Graham, there we are ! ;-)
0,742V RMS over 50Ohm. That's 11mW
Can see 1dB down in my WSPR monitor at 7Km. Reports from EA5CV which were about -25dB are nill now
Really challenging for me and for RX stations. Probably will get some spots from EA5CV and EA2HB during
the night, but for >1000Km paths it will be very hard, depending on propagation conditions and noise floor
WSPR power message set to 10dBm and Opera info changed to 0,01w
Make your bet ! ;-)

Getting there Luis !
Your 6 dB in hand with G3XKR , may be more with G8HUH ,
Go for the big 1-0 TEN mW , the stats are not good , you need to get a peak aligned with the qsb , but with 8% fade , but, signal must be holding up ...

Hi MF
Yet some remarkable results with 51mW. May be propagation conditions lowered extra dBs
Anyway, in Opera got a -30dB decode from G3XKR and Deep Search -37dB from SV8CS-5 at 1819Km

Should I get down another 3dB to 25mW and still spotted by F5WK ?? :-O
Congratulations to all this stations for their superb RX !

Let's go step by step
3db down now: 1,60V RMS 51mW
Same signals on my monitor and some drop on F5WK and EA5CV reports

.. May be 10 dB at least !

Hi Graham, MF
Yes. The efficiency of this antenna setup is really outstanding :-O
I can clearly see the signal on my monitor waterfall at 7Km when injecting -33dBm
Just at sunset between EA and DL I got two WSPR decodes from DH5RAE and DJ0ABR

I have the 3dB atenuator ready to be installed. Will do it when I get home in a couple of hours
and will change the WSPR tx power indicator and Opera info to notice the change

That's just 'a silly , -18 dB with G8HUH , I thought you where running QRP, that's close to 20 dB QRO jiji

Thank you Tony
That explains the radical propagation change ! :-)
Thank you for keeping your monitor working
Luis, I switched my radio off last night at about 23:30 utc.
I will leave it running opera all night tonight if you want to try different power levels again.
73, Tony, EI8JK
