Excellent Alex - a very good night to JA on 475 WSPR15 and 137 - Right up to dawn on 137 JA1NQI and JA1PKG were visible in the window here with QSB favoring each station over every RX period, and my TX loop was doing a reasonable job with the good ears of Yuki JA5FP with path open from 0800 till 1715Z with some 14 spots
on 475 JA1NQI had decodes from me from 1030-1445z, and nice spots also from VE7BDQ too -
The USA/Canadian ham and KPH coast station chaps were also going great guns on 475/500KHz area last night on every mode conceivable with a load of CW contacts across the continent - well done chaps! The audible signal level path didnt extend this far North unfortunately.
Not be outdone I see WH2XCR in Hawaii made it to VK3ELV >8000Kms and the path reopened to JA - with loads of other US stations hearing XCR >6-7000Kms+ on 475kHz WSPR 2. Just love that Salt water! Im sure Johns excellent NJD technologies blog will have a lot more .
I shut down automatically about 20 mins before dawn when one of the AC breaker tripped on over heat - I need to harden this 110VAC shack line.
WSPR15 seems pretty good at the moment even on the faster qsb 475kHz - well from here anyway.
