472kHz WSPR
No new stations spotting me or being spotted, today. My best report was from G3WCB (101km) and my best DX on RX is again DK7FC (669km). I am still using the earth-electrodes and 5mW ERP.
I used 3C90 step down transformer (42mm toroid) after resonating a loop. For an earth-electrode antenna I used a step UP 3C90 42mm transformer with tapped secondary. At old QTH the ground was close to 50 ohms and no transformer was needed. No variometer needed.
Hi Roger,
ReplyDelete- How you match the impedance of the antenna ??? (It is necessary a classic "variometer" as used with "marconi" antenna ??)
- is the position of the TX (middle point or near a electrode) important ???

ReplyDeleteMy 3C90 toroid is located in my shack.
