Mike and all,

Thank you for listening and for the reports. I was very pleased to receive WSPR-2 and WSPR-15 reports from you and WSPR-15 report from 2E0ILY last night.

With the added PSU fan things seem fine with the high duty cycle. I started out at 150 watts RF output. By morning it was closer to 200 watts as the antenna system resistance slowly decreased during the night. WSPR-15 gives me the opportunity to be heard with a bit weaker signal and perhaps get a bit more distance.

I'm using a stand alone beacon transmitter so I am not software dependent for WSPR transmitting. I do have WSPR-X running as a test and it has been stable running Windows 7 compatibility mode on my Windows 10 system for a few days. However I will not declare victory just yet as it was stable for a few days one other time without compatibility mode, then went back to crashing every few minutes.

Probably DFCW could go even further. I plan to try that soon but as far as I know there are very few grabbers these days.

Your WSPR-15 received here at 0600. Several WSPR-2 transmissions also
seen at 0524, 0548 and 0554.

Note that WSPR-X (the WSPR-15 receiving software, not to be confused
with WSJT-X) is stable here provided I do not minimise its window. I
am running it most of the time and certainly overnight.

Tonight I am transmitting WSPR-15 and WSPR-2 on LF. My WSPR-15
transmissions have a CW ID at the end.

WSJT-X 1.8 and 1.9 side by side tests continue but there will be fewer
total decodes due to high TX duty cycle here.
