Hi Stefan, LF
I see some very interesting reporters on that list. :-)
I would like to transmit as well, but the PA is not repaired. I must
look into it to see if anything in addition to the FETs is dead,
then order FETs and whatever other parts...
When the PA is repaired I need to do some more testing before I try
WSPR-15. During every WSPR-2 TX period, the scopematch shows the
resistance of the antenna decreasing during the transmission. I am
worried this is caused by something heating. Maybe the ferrite in
the antenna matching transformer, maybe the the big coil? Or maybe
it is in the scopematch detector itself but that would be a little
difficult to believe. I would like to find the cause of this before
transmitting the long WSPOR-15 periods.
I just woke up and sent the rest of my overnight spots to WSPRnet:
DK7FC and DF6NM.
73,
Paul
