Well, I've had the 137.5kHz WSPR2 beacon running for about 18 hours now, almost continuously on a 25% TX cycle. I've tried to drum up reporters by posting on the WSPRnet chat page, RSGB LF Yahoo Group and the LF Blacksheep reflector, plus a few direct emails to stations likely to copy my signal.

Consistent 137.5kHz WSPR spots from G8HUH at 250km, but no others! |
All I've managed are the very consistent reports from good old
G8HUH at 250km. The signal is obviously spanning this distance without any issues so why no others reporting?
Later I am going to replace the 10MHz LO in my transverter with the stable source from my synthesised signal generator and have a go tonight at WSPR15 (15 minutes TX periods) and see if that gets me a few more reports. It should be several dB more sensitive. If that fails to get anywhere, then I
am calling it a day on 137kHz. In terms of returns for effort, this is not good value.
