LF: Re: [rsgb-lf-group] 475kHz Activity periods

[David Bowman <davidg0mrf@gmail.com>]

Hi Paul.

I have been looking at wspr reports from your station and using those to decide when / if to switch to JT9

If I see reports about -22, then it's certainly worth a try.

The other evening's peak was around 01.30 UTC and my wspr signal was -18 with you.  A few random CQ calls in JT9 produced

a reply from Eric, But 20 minutes later the band faded out for this part of Europe
As for late nights.....I set the alarm on my phone for odd hours and quickly check conditions on a tablet. Works fine as long as I don't have an early start the next day.!

Makes a change for me to wake the Greyhounds rather than the other way around :)

We'll make it. Just a question of the right night.

Regards   David  G0MRF

I've been watching every night but have yet to see you on JT9. WSPR
signals have been way down compared to the first night or two you
were on. Maybe we will get another shot at it but I know it's late
for you by the time propagation gets good.

73,
