[600MRG] 630m RX at w0yse

[Neil Klagge]

It has been over a year since I was able to decode anything on 630m. My HOA limitations prevented that until a couple of days ago.

 have 2 indoor antennas, one in the attic at 13 feet AGL, and the other one is stapled at the 8 ft level near the ceiling of my garage. I have managed to run a stealth wire outside at one corner of the house. It is an inverted L that is 10' vertical and then another 12' horizontal that lays on the roof shingles and out of sight. The Inv-L is fed at the base with a 4:1 UnUn and has the lowest noise of the three antennas, so I decided to try listening on 630m a couple of nights ago and was happy to receive N6LF and KM5SW on WSPR.

Then, Last night I decoded the following:

3 unique spots:

Now I am wondering if I should replace the 4:1 UnUn with a 49:1 UnUn to make it more like a LNV antenna. Hmmmm....
