Hello Roger

 

I wasn't "on" last night but if you want someone listening as a comparison please email me and normally I can run the system.

Well, with 4 spots of my QRPP 630m WSPR signal already, it looks as if things are better.

My earth-electrode "antenna" for 630m has been repaired and the secondary antenna current reading on the Marconi has gone from 17uA to 22uA using this as an additional ground.　 It remains to be seen (tonight) if this small ERP increase makes any real difference. The next thing to try will be more/better grounds directly outside the shack and some radials?

I shall be on 630m WSPR (20% TX) this evening and overnight. The ERP is still very much QRPP (low mWs). All reports welcomed.

I know this is trivial compared with the results obtained by "real" stations, but it shows useful results can be obtained on MF with a very modest installation. My hope is this encourages others.

Last　 night my ultra simple system got 3 unique spots on TX and I spotted 10 unique stations on RX.
