Another earth-electrode station on 472kHz

If you spot G4HJW/1 on the WSPR database on 472kHz this is Bernie who is about 9km from me on his 30m baseline earth-electrode antenna. G4HJW is him on his Marconi by the way. Looking at his unique spots, he is getting reports from all over the place: not as good as his Marconi but reports out to over 900km isn't bad (GM, F, PA, G etc).

Next week, after the snow has gone, we hope to have a 2-way CW QSO on 472kHz using earth-electrode antennas at each end. That should be fun!
