In the last 30 minutes, both of these have been switched on. 5mW ERP (20% TX, 80 % RX) on 472kHz WSPR and 500mW (100% TX) on 28MHz WSPR.
Best DX on 10m so far is 4X1RF (3519km) and on 630m I have yet to be copied or copy anyone.
UPDATE 1125z: G3YAC (12km) has now spotted me a couple of times on 472kHz (630m) WSPR, but not too strongly.
UPDATE 1146z: Apart from locals G4IKZ (18km) and G3YAC (12km) very little so far on 10m WSPR although 4X1RF (3519km) has spotted me 4 times so far this morning. Activity on 10m WSPR is moderate with 60 active stations worldwide when I last checked.
Not surprised at the SN ratio Roger. The 'antenna' is just a 20m length of wire tossed over the old apple tree and without any attempt at Z matching. Suburban surroundings are not the quietest, either. I must give your earth electrodes a go! I'd be interested to know more details sometime.
