Altho its not a broad signal .. quite the oppisite, I've recently learned of the WSPR crowd is running prop beacons @ 1836.6 Just below where the majority of the JT65 Activity is, I have rcvd these signals here @ my location, along with the Call & Grid they send the TX pwr in dBm Most are in the 40 - 30 dBm power level.
Do you have or know someone that has one of those MFJ noise cancelation boxes that uses a 'sense' antenna and you adjust the phase? I live in the depths of a big city.. and noise is status quo here.. I havent tried one of these devices yet.. if I find a local ham that has one.. ide Like to borrow it and see if it would be a viable addition to my operations here.
