[600MRG] Improved results here last night

[Bayard Coolidge, N1HO]

Good Morning, all -
I switched back to WSPR at a 20% duty cycle last night after checking my antenna,and adjusting things for a significant increase in ground resistance. The ground resistancewent from about 26 Ohms to 35 Ohms, which was paradoxical since we'd had nearly 5inches of rain here in the WNC mountains.
I heard 14 unique stations, across 430 spots, with the best DX being WB0TEM at 1474km (1 time).
I was heard by 54 unique stations, across 2036 spots, with the best DX being N6GN/K (1 time).
UPS is delivering some small caps and other goodies today, so I can start work on mybandpass receive filter, which should reduce desense, etc. from the nearby NDB at 379kHzthat crashes in at 30dB over S9. Once that filter is back in service, I'll take some carefulmeasurements, and also go back (at some point) to FST4W.
73,
Brandy, N1HO (EM85sg)
