Using the very indifferent 2m/70cm feeder antenna (some of this is on the ground) last night I was pleased to exchange WSPR spots with GM4SLV (896km) up in the Shetland Isles as well as being spotted by M0EMM (192km) and G8HUH (250km) in Somerset.
This was my first outing in MF for many months. In coming evenings I'll try different antennas: none are dedicated 472kHz antennas - all are compromise antennas, usually strapped feeders with a base loading coil.
GM4SLV must have a very quiet RX location as he misses very little and my signal would have been very weak.
