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 resistance

went from about 26 Ohms to 35 Ohms, which was paradoxical since we'd had nearly 5

inches 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 my

bandpass receive filter, which should reduce desense, etc. from the nearby NDB at 379kHz

that crashes in at 30dB over S9. Once that filter is back in service, I'll take some careful

measurements, and also go back (at some point) to FST4W.

73,
