Experiment continued - 10mW 10m WSPR (Friday)

Today, I am concluding my experiment with very low power on 10m. Today, I am running 10mW 10m WSPR. Conditions are more disturbed than yesterday. 

UPDATE 1654z:   14 spots of me so far today. I think my experiment has demonstrated that very low power digital modes really do work on 10m. WSPR is better than FT8, but even 10mW of FT8 can be enough, although you need a clear frequency!   Back to QRO (3W HI) tomorrow!

UPDATE 1910z: 19 spots of my 10mW WSPR today.

17m super-DX

 A local friend of mine reports that he has been spotted in South Australia with just 2mW WSPR on 17m. It goes to prove that not much power is really needed!

UPDATE 1535z:  31 stations spotting me including JW1ITS Jan Mayen  (2945km) in the frozen north. Best DX is a spot from Brazil.

10m QRP WSPR (Sunday)

10m 500mW WSPR TX (Thursday)

My beacon was turned on just before breakfast.

UPDATE 1139z:  Just EA8BFK (2880km) spotting me. It seems the single hop F2 to the Canary Is is often open. Interesting that reports of me vary from -25dB S/N to -5dB S/N on this path. This implies he could still  copy me with microwatts at times!
