Hi Stefan. MF

 

Yes. I agree with you that this is the way to promote "rare" bands between average hams

 

Have been doing this also on microwaves. But that is much harder, as normally, people need expensive equipments

and going portable. But low bands are good for home and specially winter. If the main enemy, QRM, is under control

 

I will invite him to join the reflector. He writes perfect English and will be great to get him here

 

Last night he got G8HUH too

Hi Luis,

Good :-)
I see you are following the same ideas then me: Contacting newcomers to rise activity :-)

If he lives in a rural area, then his signals should be at least 10 dB better then currently. So i would say he needs a larger antenna or a preamp or a different antenna, like the PA0RDT.
And/or, the tuner rather works like a short cut instead of improving things. So another idea would be to build his own matching circuit for MF. It's the same principle like for your transmit antenna but of course the coil can be wound on a ferrite rod, as well as the transformer (on the same rod).
Maybe you like to pass him that? :-)

I sent an email to Pedro and he answered with some details about his Rx conditions

This is my first time receiving WSPR MF, in fact I was sceptical considering my conditions, it really works!

My setup is a very basic one:

SW: WSPR-X in a debian jessie.

Radio: TS-590S and I'm using the internal USB sound card of the radio.

Antenna: Ground plane vertical with some radials 4 meters hight from ground , mounted on a balcony with a SGC-230 at feed point in bypass for receiving. The support mast is a spiderbeam 12M mast.

I am lucky and live on a rural area with low RF noise.

Hope he can be motivated to become Tx

Hi MF,

Finally got my first decode by CT7AEZ:

1 spots:

Timestamp	Call	MHz	SNR	Drift	Grid	Pwr	Reporter	RGrid	km	az
2015-12-21 23:12	DK7FC	0.475683	-25	0	JN49ik	1	CT7AEZ	IM59ih	1813	238

Will this be the beginning of a new receive-carrer, this time for a CT stn?
Last night he got EA5DOM i saw. Maybe he will now start to improve his/her setup? Let's see...
More encouraging signals could be helpful...
