marxy's tiny indoor loop antenna used for receiving WSPR's: bit.ly/KVrBvo 3:05 AM May 21st via Buffer
15m is still showing WSPR signals from EU 4.5 hours after local sunset here in VK2. 4:44 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS
@G0PKT What s/w are you using? 2:48 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT I don't have TX capability. I'm using WinXP as a virtual o/s on Mac OS-X via VMware. I don't have audio cables set up properly. 2:47 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT I'm still trying to work out where to find a signal strength :-). Told you I hadn't used PSK for years :-) 2:46 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT Yup, got you. 2:41 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT Receiving on4lcy, yo9hp, mq0oxo, zs6aku, sp5kcr, ... Which callsign are you using for the contest? 2:40 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT I've not used psk for many years so I'm re-learning the interface :-) 2:35 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT So, path to 5z4 now gone, starting up digipan. 2:28 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT Sorry, 5z4/vk1un and I are currently doing WSPR test to see when path to him closes - should be soon. 2:07 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
@G0PKT Lots of 15m EU WSPR into VK2 at the moment so band isn't all bad. 2:02 AM May 20th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to G0PKT
marxy's musing on technology: Antique radio builder - Jack Myer: bit.ly/K2NKX7 11:58 PM May 19th via Buffer
@gm4aff Sorry, I'd already left for morning walk with the dogs. 80m was open from approx. 1800z to 2100z (4am to 7am local). SR is 2030z. 3:38 PM May 10th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to gm4aff
Good condx on 80m again Receiving many #WSPR signals into VK2 from EU (and 5R8Z). 1:50 PM May 10th via Tweetbot for iOS
Getting some #WSPRs from Europe on 17m (at 1130z). Why do people insist on sticking to 20m and 30m when there are other bands to explore? 4:34 AM May 10th via Tweetbot for iOS
80m was alive with the sound of #WSPR overnight into VK2 from EU. DK4XI up to -7 dB on my simple G5RV. That path also good on 160m. 4:14 PM May 9th via Tweetbot for iOS
Full size G5RV now up with apex atop tower at 20m. #WSPR tests with Ross T51/VK1UN on 60m continue to be thwarted by OTHR. 4:17 PM May 6th via web
la3jj_jonovejo @vk2ub exited that my wspr signal on 60m was heard in Australia. dl.dropbox.com/u/10291921/rad… 10:45 PM May 3rd via web Retweeted by vk2ub
@gm4aff From MFJ (I think it plays Star Spangled Banner at dawn too): mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?pr… 12:37 AM Apr 5th via web in reply to gm4aff
10m refuses to die. I've just received DL6NL's 0.5 watt #WSPR signal in VK2. 2:11 AM Mar 31st via Tweetbot for iOS
