Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.
In all, 2 unique stations have spotted my QRP 10m WSPR beacon so far today.
UPDATE 2033z: QRT.
Having read the article in the latest Radcom re 70mW of WSPR for the Queen’s Jubilee, out of interest I ran 70mW ERP on 7 MHz overnight. I was spotted by 133 different stations, the furthest being several reports from the Canary Islands at just under 3000kms.Antenna is a 7MHz EFHW about 2m above ground.Quite pleasantly surprised how far such a small amount of RF can get, even recognising the ability of WSPR decoding.
