Hello Markus, All,
I think I have been very lucky with the antenna. I am running only
150 watts but I am being heard. There are many trees which surely
steal some of my RF.
I have not yet tried transmitting WSPR-15 but I have a Ultimate 3S
so this is a possibility. Are there many stations in EU monitoring
that mode? On this side, very few because stability of the old
versions of WSPR software is a problem. I tried for months to make
it run but I could not stop it from crashing every few minutes.
I also thought about trying DFCW to see if I can appear on any
grabbers. I thought that would be the only chance to be received in
DL, but I guess not. My WSPR-2 was heard by DF6NM and DF4UE last night.
The next challenge is a two way QSO. This is my ultimate goal, but
much more difficult to achieve.
73,
Paul

Hello Paul,
My congrats to the very good results! TA WSPR-LF decodes have been very
rare so far. You seem to achieve a good antenne efficiency.
My WSPR monitor is now running again but unfortunately the RX is
overloaded when transmitting on VLF, which i do regularly these days
(years actually).

PS: Did you try WSPR-15 already?

Hi Markus, All,
Try to imagine how pleased I am! When I began transmitting again three
days ago I was hoping I might receive even one weak report from across
the pond. I was not expecting anything like the results I have seen.
Thank you for being there to provide these exciting reports! I think I
stopped breathing after seeing the first report from your station, but
don't worry I'm OK now. :-)

Thanks Paul!

PS: Still running WSPR v0.8 r3058 here because this version can also
do wspr-15 mode.
