LF: Re: Oscar LU1DOW - Amazing results in MF

[<g3kevmal@talktalk.net>]

Hi Stefan

 

Condx totally different last night from previous recent nights. I did not receive any reports from North America but propagation favoured N/S and I was received by FR5DH.

on MF 474.2 kcs

There was the usual EU activity which seemed normal and best distance was to EA8 south and SM/SWL north at the very top.

Hi Luis, Oscar,

Indeed, very amazing results! My congrats to Oscar for his strong signal. Actually he could be very successful on LF too, if the modern modes were used, such as WSPR-15 or even EbNaut. But also DFCW-180 would be fine. Nothing is impossible as we can see.

It looks like high solar activity has its advantages for those paths beeing distant from the poles. If the band is closed over the poles, then the QRN cannot propagate too, over these paths. So the SNR can rise.
I saw the dropping DST values and that there was no decode at all from SWLKQ40LS, then i stopped TXing. Obviously i missed some good chances. But Mal and Oscar used them. Very well!

73, Stefan

Hi MF

 

Oscar, LU1DOW was transmitting last night with amazing results. Attached is the WSPR map of his last 24h spots

 

This time, many European stations reported him. Including EA8BFK in Canary Islands

Amazing to see spots from 39 different stations. While 37 of them are further than 5000 Km !! :-O

And ODX last night LA3EQ at 11950Km

 

Enhorabuena Oscar !
