Hi Graham, MF
That was just when I went to bed !
-36dB Dynamic decode in Opera. But there was also a G8HUH decode in WSPR with
an amazing -17dB !!
2015-12-04 02:12 EA5DOM 0.475609 -17 0 IM98wn
0.01 G8HUH IO81mg 1430 352
Single spot from Maxi, EA5CV at 60Km
2015-12-04 06:24 EA5DOM 0.475612 -31 0 IM98wn
0.01 EA5CV IM98ol 59 261
I'm going to add 3dB attenuation. Let's see if it is possible with 5mW on
antenna (not 5mW ERP) ;-)
