Thanks for the reply Roger,

 

I am in Bedford, IO92SD.

 

Ok on RX only, hope you can get something going.

Look forward to hearing you on the band.

Thanks Ian,

 

Until I repair my transverter and get a better antenna up, I am RX only. Where are you?

Hi Roger,

 

Glad to hear you are back on for the new season! Any chance you can fire up a bit of CW? Would like a QSO with you for a new CW station on 600m.

 

All the Best

Thanks to G3WCB's post for the reminder, I took my first steps back onto 472kHz WSPR. At the moment I am RX only with the PC on battery power as the charger is too noisy. At the moment I am using my coax to the 2m big-wheel (loaded) as my antenna. My noise floor even with the PC on batteries is S8. I need to lower this.

 

M0FMT (51km) has been copied several times despite my local noise.

 

There was a criticism of Dave posting his WSPR spots here. Yes they go to WSPRnet where we can all look, but I personally have no problems with results being posted here too - Dave's post certainly got me back on again!
