This morning, until about 1 o’clock pm local time, I tried to increase the transmission power from 50W to about 180W to see if the homemade radial matcher commutator can resist or smoke… Well, it endured! During the tests i’ve been looking on wspr.net page and with a nice surprice I’ve seen that my signal […]

Last night I’ve been transmitting for the first time after the summer period. A new look to the the TX antenna was made to simplify the shape and get more gain. Now the hat is about 16 meters long and the vertical side is about 9 meters high. The 6 wires of vertical slope are […] Last night I’ve had a session of WSPR and Opera on 630m, added a new one for me in WSPR: Faroe island with OY6FRA, 2627 Km. Despite map’s appearances the best DX was with EB8ARZ with 3008Km. A total of 83 stations copied my signals. Just now my U3S transmitter is blocked in TX condition as is possible to see in the next picture: DK7FC grabber The continuous line over 475.740 is my signal more than one hour long. The problem is that it was an unmanned operation and I’m not at home now. Strange […] Here follows a PDF doc where is possible to see all my unique stations transmission report on WSPR MF band, they are in descending order of distance. I still didn’t compiled a ranking by country but it’s easy to see how many DL and G are in the log.

To tune the antenna on 136 kHz I’ve build a couple of inductors over two hand cleaner soap bins. The first one was wound with enameled copper wire of about 1 […] Due the lack of public MF grabbers on the net, last night I’ve tried to receive my signal in qrss10 with remote WebSDR system. I alternated the two transmission mode so to have an idea about where my signals were received. With great surprise receiving myself on Twente WebSDR my signal was audible and even […] For the expected solar storm of last 3rd August, I’ve planned a continuous 72 hours transmission of my MF station as QRSS10 beacon since 1st of August afternoon. I’ve monitored my signal on the MF grabber of Stefan DL7FC, comparing it with IQ2MI signal, downloading for the 72 hours a picture any 10 […] |
