Hello Markus,
apparently this morning there is a Turin-Nuerberg duct!
I'm running my WSPR beacon on 137 kHz since friday evening with no
interruption, same power, same rig, same antenna, but yesterday you
missed again my sigs after the sunrise, today at 11AM (0900 UTC) you
are still copying me although a small hole from 0444 and 0626 UTC.
The TX output is about 30W (I have to measure better....) The antenna
is a 10m wire vertical (2m on the side of my metal mast) with 100m of
tophat (10 sloping wires 10m each) with a topcoil resonating on 470kHz
(not yet tuned I have to take away some turns in the coil) and a base
coil resonating at 137 kHz. Yesterday afternoon we had a couple of
hours of rain, but small retuning with the variometer were enough to
keep the antenna at resonance) :-)
I'll keep on the transmission being very curious to see how long you
can decode even if the SNR is not impressive..
