Late yesterday evening I changed from my "strapped feeders and loading coil" 630m antenna to the earth-electrode antenna that I'd been using all winter on MF. Spots on 472kHz (630m) WSPR by G7NKS (46km) immediately jumped upwards by 6dB. This may be directionality, but results were definitely better. I know my RX is deaf on 472kHz. It tells me the "strapped feeder" antenna is not that brilliant!
Overnight the best DX was reception of DK7FC (669km) who is always a good signal and a spot by PE1RKT (285km). When I went back to the earth-electrode on 472kHz I resumed 10m WSPR beaconing but I was only copied by G4IKZ (18km) during the overnight period.
Now I am back on 6m (rather than 630m (472kHz)) and 10m WSPR.
