Fun is guaranteed !
EB3FRN monitoring now 477 at OP32 rate :-)
1mW on antenna. ERP is unknown ..... go figure

Asunto: Re: LF: EA5DOM back to MF, but QRP at the moment
Hi Graham. Good idea ! :-)
But probably lack of Rx stations
I'm already transmitting OP32 over 477 dial USB. Continous periods and no WSPR
Let's gain those 10dB ! ;-)

Asunto: Re: LF: EA5DOM back to MF, but QRP at the moment
Ok Luis ,
Yes, using G8HUH as the reference , 0dBm was going to be more chance
than expectation ... Very long skip at the moment.
Could try, dropping down to OP32 ???
Same dial set , that would put another +10 db in the cct % fade has
shown, should be able to 'view' at least 40% of the Tx along the time
line...Sets are now quite stable , well inside the 1 or 2 Hz drift
Would need a few emails to set the Rx group up ..as decodes will show
as 136
73-G,
