CX2ABP - 7 times so far this afternoon

CX2ABP (11127km) has been spotted here seven times since lunch so far. Rodolpho is using 2W but is a very consistent signal with me. He has one of the best signals from South America. Not sure what antenna he uses?

UPDATE 1645z: CX2ABP has now been spotted 9 times this afternoon. Conditions N-S on 10m are good today.

    Well Rodolfo, the system you use on 10m WSPR certainly works very well.

    Here, I use an FT817 on 2.5W, 10m of RG58 to Par 10/2/40m end-fed antenna at about 4m AGL running roughly E-W (not sure of directions of fire).

    That should say Par 10/20/40m end-fed antenna.

    Nice setup Roger. I also have a Yaesu FT-817 too: I hope this weekend I can make some WSPRing with this nice rig on my weekend QTH, 70 km east of Montevideo (grid GF25hf). But at this place I have only wire antennas between the trees (no so high, of course!)

    Yout blog is very nice and inspiring. Congrats on your good job.

    We are in touch! 73 and thanks for devoting your time to talk about my humble station on your blog entries.
