Hello Marko.

 

I was just trying for the first time to copy your LF WSPR signal. But I am sorry, I have a bad local QRM just on your QRG of 137453.

 

I’ll try again later if this QRM gone away, HI !

 

Just a question about your nice antenna : dou you use for the earth groud some radials or ground rods ? And, did you had a mesurement on your base antenna current ?

 

Bets 73.

 

Andy.

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..
