Yet again, I intend to go QRT in the early evening on 10m WSPR TX and 6m FT8 RX and move to 630m WSPR RX. Despite my high local noise level and compromised set-up (deaf RX, poor ground, poor antenna), I still seem to be able to copy stations on WSPR.
UPDATE 1816z: As 10m and 6m were dire today, I switched to 630m WSPR earlier this evening. So far G3KEV (232km). He has a good antenna and a good signal with me.
UPDATE 1922z: Now LA3EQ (769km) being copied.
UPDATE 2116z: There is a lot of confusion on WSPRnet on 630m. The convention seems to be to give power as ERP whereas some give TX power, which is pretty meaningless when the antenna efficiency is usually very poor.
