My 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR beacon has been on again today.
UPDATE 1822z: 15 spots (again) by EA8BFK (2880km).
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.
My 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR beacon has been on again today.
UPDATE 1822z: 15 spots (again) by EA8BFK (2880km).
No luck yet today with my 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR today.
Yesterday there were quite a few spots of my 500uW WSPR by EA8BFK (2880km). The impression I am getting is this ultra low power works on single hop F2 as long as things are settled, but multiple hop F2 is far harder. Based on these results, I am expecting European spots via Es later.
UPDATE 1545z: No spots today.
UPDATE 1618z: I spoke too soon! 3 spots late afternoon from the Canary Islands (again).
My 500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR beacon has been on all day. I suspect conditions are not good enough.
UPDATE 1354z: No spots.
As for the last few weeks, I am on 10m WSPR with my 500uW beacon. Yesterday was quite successful and conditions today look promising. No spots yet though.
UPDATE 1212z: 5 spots so far today.
My beacon (with the PA off) was turned on at about 0755z. I wonder if I shall be spotted in the USA today with QRPP?
UPDATE 0900z: Just a single spot by EA8BFK (2880km).
My 10mW ERP 630m WSPR (measured) was turned on at about 2020z. So far, just 2E0ILY/KIWI (209km) spotting me.
It is very disappointing to see I am the only UK station sending 630m WSPR according to WSPRnet at present.
My 10m WSPR beacon, without the PA, is on again. At 0846z, no spots.
This QRPP is really great fun and definitely worth trying in the upcoming Es season. I suspect FT8 would not work.
My 10m WSPR beacon is again on with 500uW (0.5mW). So far today, no spots. I am wondering if EA8BFK is no longer monitoring?
I shall definitely try 10m 500uW WSPR in the Es season.
This morning, I am trying 10mW ERP 10m WSPR for a change. The gear was turned on at about 0850z. No spots yet.
Might try 10mW 10m FT8 later.
UPDATE 1245z: No spots of me today, although I have spotted stations, even with the attenuator in the antenna coax on RX!
Until I had to QSY to 70cm FT8, I was on 630m WSPR with 10mW ERP. 2 stations spotted me. I shall QSY back to 630m QRP WSPR later.
The following have been notified to me. As I always advise, check before going a long way. Saturday April 20th -Yeovil ARC 38th QRP Convent...
