Hi Graham, MF
Yes. I'll keep Txing 1mW op32 on 477KHz tonight. And probably tomorrow night too
The 6dB are already dropped by the path looses. We got just 3 decodes at early
morning, which
is by experience the best peak hours we have for MF. Don't plan to drop power
under 0dBm !!
1mW is a good enought reference anyone can try safely at home. Lower levels may
fall into
the EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) world :-(
This week I'll be back to 80.000 mW on antenna.
Life is too short for QRP ! hi hi

Ok Luis ,
Are you running op32/477 tonight ? many of the stations had not changed
over ..
-41 Db dynamic spot, your still running TOO much power, need to
drop -6 dB to test OP32 Dynamic to the limit :)
But may be tonight, leave the power and , If UK stations select op32 ,
may get a DX spot ?
Nice going !
73-G,
