I am still active on 472kHz WSPR with 5mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna" My best DX reports today has been from PA0RDT (243km) and G8HUH (250km). On RX my best spot so far is of PA0A (417km).
Interestingly today more stations were copying me than I copied on MF. Although the FT817 is a little deaf on 472kHz, it has not stopped me copying most active stations. I do sometimes wonder if a few more dBs of front end gain (with good large signal handling) would allow me to receive any more MF stations?
UPDATE Feb 8th 1053z: My best 472kHz DX report overnight with 5mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna" was by PA00 at 440km. G8HUH (250km) has spotted me very many times today.
