I cannot see VK4YB on the MF\630M ACTIVITY LIST and wonder if Roger is actually active.
Roger if you see this message pse give some update about your activity on the MF band also use the WSPR CHAT facility for real time update
There is a possibility you will also my WSPR signal, antenna here on MF is an inv L ¼ wave 100 feet vertical and rest horizontal

Hi Roger..
Now there's a challenge.
A quick FYI. There are a number of stations here who probably do not read any of these posts and transmit until 08.00 or beyond.
It's probably worth a check on the activity page to see that you have +/- 6Hz either side. I'm usually on 475.770......So I will move up.
Hope you have a sizeable % of transmission time
Good luck es HNY

I am transmitting WSPR on 475.768 kHz beaming NW to Europe every morning starting at 18:00 UTC until my sunrise at 18:50 UTC. I transmit 75% duty cycle. High summer static here makes receiving near impossible. I also transmit on my West beam to Re-Union Island and Canary Islands. EA8 is very near to my antipodal point and I get good strength reports on 160m. I am running 450 watts TPO and my beams are up to 120 ft high. I reckon I should be able to be heard in Europe at this time of year. Who will hear me first?
