10m 200mW WSPR TX (Friday)

My beacon was turned on at about 1515z.

UPDATE 1612z:  Spotted by 18 stations so far.

UPDATE 1953z:  Spotted by 31 stations with 2 in Brazil. Now QRT.

10m 200mW WSPR (Thursday)

 At about 1300z my little WSPR beacon was turned on.

UPDATE 1312z:  Several spots of me already from the USA.

UPDATE 1929z:   36 stations have spotted my 200mW WSPR including the German base in Antarctica DP0GVN (13685km) 8 times.

10m 200mW WSPR (Wednesday)

My beacon was turned on at 1000z.

UPDATE 1010z:  Yesterday was good with a couple of spots of me in Antarctica as well as lots of other spots of my 200mW.

10m 200mW WSPR (Tuesday)

 My beacon was turned at breakfast time.

UPDATE 1010z:  38 spots by EA8BFK (2880km). The variation in S/N is over 20dB, most of which is probably QSB on the path, but some might be local noise I guess. Some might be QRM from other stations. At time just microwatts would be enough! 

10m 200mW WSPR (Monday)

 My beacon has been on since about 0900z.

UPDATE 0932z:   Several spots already by EA8BFK (2880km).

UPDATE 1615z:   Spotted by 29 stations so far. 200mW seems quite enough. See table. I must be getting lazy: I just switch on my WSPR beacon (no PC needed) and just  monitor where I am received. I was planning to try 10m 5W FT8, but that will now have to wait until tomorrow!

10m 200mW WSPR (Sunday)

 My beacon was turned on at about 0922z.

UPDATE 0937z:  Two spots of me.

10m 200mW WSPR TX (Saturday)

 My beacon has been on since about 0945z. 

UPDATE 1440z:   17 spots of me with the best a spot from a station in Brazil.

10m 200mW WSPR TX (Friday)

 My beacon has been on since about 0940z.

UPDATE 1011z: Just EA8BFK (2880km) spotting me

10m 200mW WSPR (Thursday)

My beacon was turned on just before breakfast,

UPDATE 1525z:  So far, 15 stations have spotted me. See table.

UPDATE 1618z:  Spotted by 27 stations today.

30m WSPR RX (Wednesday)

 My Zachtek receiver is monitoring 30m WSPR.

UPDATE 0911z:  Spotted 5 stations.

10m 200mW WSPR (Wednesday)

 In a very short while I expect to turn on my beacon.

UPDATE 0742z: Beacon switched on at 0730z.

UPDATE 0915z:  No spots.

80m WSPR RX (Tuesday)

 A few minutes ago I QSYed to 80m WSPR RX using the coax to my 2m big-wheel antenna via an ATU.

UPDATE 2107z:   5 Europeans spotted.

UPDATE 2150z:  16 spots of stations. See map by Phil VK7JJ.

80m WSPR RX (Tuesday)

Whilst on 10m WSPR TX, I realised there is nothing stopping me going on 80m WSPR RX with my Zachtek WSPR RX and my earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground, so at 1135z I turned on 80m WSPR RX.

10m 200mW WSPR TX (Tuesday)

 My beacon was turned on at 1015z.

UPDATE  1046z:   2 stations have spotted me with the best UN7LCJ (4187km).

UPDATE 1201z:  Spotted by 4 stations  with the best HZ1SF (4939km).

UPDATE 1325z:  16 spots of me with 7 from DP0GVN (13685km) in Antarctica with about 10dB in hand!

UPDATE  1611z:  40 stations have spotted me with 10 spots from Antarctica.

630m WSPR RX last night

 Last evening and overnight I was on 630m WSPR using my coax to my 2m big-wheel antenna via an ATU and a mains earth.

In all, 5 stations were spotted with the best Norway. See table, and map by Phil VK7JJ.

UPDATE 1036z:  My darn Windows PC wanted me to "finish setting up my PC" and turned off WSPRnet and WSPR-X so was probably off through much of the night.

10m 200mW WSPR (Monday)

 When I get home later I expect to go on 10m 200mW WSPR TX.

630m WSPR RX - with a different antenna

 This evening and overnight I am on 630m WSPR RX with the Zachtek RX using instead my earth electrode "antenna" in the ground to see how this compares with the coax to my 2m big-wheel via an ATU

10m WSPR RX with the Zachtek RX (Sunday)

So far, I have not tried the Zachtek WSPR RX on 10m, so I am trying it now. 

The impression I am getting on other bands is good. It is small and works on all the bands I have tried.

UPDATE 1550z:  3 stations spotted on 10m WSPR RX this afternoon with the best W3HH (7005km).

10m 200mW WSPR (Sunday)

 My beacon was turned on at about 1030z.

UPDATE 1050z: So far just lots of spots of me by EA8BFK (2880km).

UPDATE 1418z: Spotted by 23 stations. See table.

Sunday plans

Later, I shall probably try 10m 200mW WSPR TX with my Zachtek beacon. I have yet to try it stepping through different bands as 10m seems good at the moment.

Once set up the TX does not need a PC and gets all its timing and Maidenhead info from GPS. Ideal for /P operation.

Although the RX has a 400Hz wide audio filter I might try it later on FT8 RX. Some signals will go through the filter towards the middle of the pass band.
