It is 330 AM here at my qth. Couldn't sleep, LOL'
Went to the shack to find this F1 on my screen:

I have been running my cw beacon all night on 474.2 kHz and was afraid that it would obliterate
any reception of F1, FW2, FW5 or WSPR, but it did not. I shifted my rx IF up 500 hz last night in hopes that would help reception, and apparently it did.
Here is my FW2 reception:
0546 -3 0.1 1538 ` KA7OEI
DN40 23
0554 -3 0.1 1538 ` KA7OEI DN40 23
0604 -3 0.1 1538 ` KA7OEI DN40 23
0606 -3 0.1 1538 ` KA7OEI DN40 23
0614 -3 0.1 1538 ` KA7OEI DN40 23
...and my WSPR2 reception summary from wsprnet data...

Got one local report on my CW beacon from Mike, KZ7O so far this morning. Hope to get more reports. I have a second wire installed on my roof to be used as an additional top load wire. It is not yet connected to the rest of the antenna until I modify my base
loading coil.
