6m WSPR has produced better results (so far) today than 10m, but only with spots of G stations. Tonight I shall leave 10m WSPR running, but QSY to 630m (472kHz) transmit (20%) and receive (80%).
Unfortunately I shall not be able to use the RX preamp, so this will really be a test for others looking for my 5mW ERP signal. Copying a weak signal on a sometimes noisy band demands a very good RX system, so all credit to those who manage it. In past DX seasons this has been detected on WSPR at more than 1000km.
I shall go QRT on 10m later this evening, but will probably run MF WSPR through the night.
UPDATE 1710z: Although there was a weak carrier on 6m about 10 minutes ago, I have QSYed to MF now for the evening and overnight
UPDATE 1935z: I realised at 1900z that I had not been reporting my ERP correctly as I forgot to reset this when I QSYed to 630m from 6m. This has now been corrected to 5mW ERP. For the record, my 630m ERP has been 5mW all evening and not 1W.
UPDATE 2152z: Just about to go QRT on 10m WSPR, but will stay on 630m WSPR overnight.
