As I have my outdoor 10m antenna erected again, I thought I would connect my W5OLF WSPR beacon. This puts out 500mW and transmits 100% of the time, but changes frequency every 2 minutes.
If anyone copies me I shall be amazed. The Es season is over and we are at sunspot minimum. Still, it is easy to connect and you never know!
UPDATE 2048z: After a whole day, not a single 10m WSPR spot. Maybe tomorrow I should try FT8 instead on 10m?
28 Mhz was certainly open on the 30th with signals from Europe, Africa and South America on FT8.
ReplyDeleteI tried listening to WSPR on 28 MHz a few days back and the results were disappointing. I think the number of users must be very low at the moment on 10m for that mode.
Its's worth trying FT8.
