[600MRG] 630 first WSPR in Europe

[Edward R Cole]

Interesting description.  Sounds a little like my 
(proposed) 630m antenna.  I had a 130 by 43 foot 
inverted-L but the support on one end was damaged 
and wires dropped to ground in November.  The 
support was my 50-foot tower but it will only be 
30-foot when I get it back next spring.

I decided on a 130-foot Tee antenna made from my 
80 dipole, center supported on another tower at 40-feet and ends at 30-feet:

Emory, how much RF power does your amp run?  How 
much power was used on the Europe shot?
