[K3VOA] September meeting will be on the 11th

[Ken Claerbout]

I saw that.  The 1/4 watt WSPR transmitter is feeding a 2 element vertical array on 160 so there is a little added fire power.  I've also set up WSPR for RX on my K3.

Ken,


Your 1/4 watt was heard by SWL "F9706" in France.


And in the US all the way to Illinois.


Strangely, I did not hear your signal, and generally did not have a good night on 160.  This might be because I (or one of the cats) nudged the xcvr frequency from 1836.6 (the 160M WSPR frequency) to 1836.4.


Here are your "contacts" as generated by the wsprnet.org map function ...

On 40M, with 5W, I'm getting into Australia and NZ this morning.

I see Kim is on 160 meters, on WSPR.  I'm there too tonight, waiting to see if one of the nodes in Europe picks up my 1/4 watt signal.  This is pretty cool stuff!
