The WSPR screen was full of transmissions this AM! My grid is CM98LW
The log starts at 0245 UTC when it was still not dark.
Call Grid SNR
WH2XGP DN07 -20
WG2XXM EM15 -30
WG2XSV CN85 -27
WG2XIQ EM12 -28
SNR's maxed out a few hours before sunrise here in the -5 to -1 dB
range. Here's what I learned:
The new synthesizer does in fact work very well in the LF/MF range. You
need the KXV3(A) option, anyone with a P3 has it. I used my flagpole
[~25 ft] on the corner of our deck for the antenna, I've got a single
wire from its base that comes into the shack which I plugged into the RX
ANT jack. Tapping RX ANT made everything come alive. It also brought
up the preamp which was way too much. NDB "LV" was very strong in a CW BW.
WSPR was set for RX only. Haven't figured out yet how to send my spots
into WSPRNet or how to interpret it. I'll run again tonight using my
large sloping-V low band antenna.
