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 was captured not only 246 km far from my TX by IK6BAK but also from DJ0ABR station even 800 and more km far! I think that DJ0ABR has a very low noise at the receiver front end.
I’ll be on the air tonight for a first “hi power” transmission. Stay tuned!
