I thought it might be well to mention again that I do not operate  the
WSPR beacon during the daytime while I'm at work. I shut it down  
before I leave. To much storm, and lightening activity during the 
hotter  months to chance leaving the antenna connected while I'm not
there. Weekends  might be different; if for some reason someone were
to be interested in  daytime reception tries, that can be arranged.

Thanks to everyone who may  have tried to receive the WSPR signal
Monday night. I'll turn it back on  again this evening, and try WSPR
for a few days. I do want to try some other  modes too, now that I
have the capability to do so.

Hi Andy,
I put the R75 receiver on your frequency last night USB mode with narrow  
filter 
but there wasn't any signal that I could see on the viewer and no decodes.  
I 
couldn't see anything on QRSS either looking at your frequency.
 
I think the overnight propagation conditions on 1750 meters have  really 
gone downhill since the long winter
nights and a couple of weeks ago I couldn't see anything on QRSS  either.
 
I think WSPR takes a bit more signal-to-noise ratio compared to QRSS  30 or 
60 
to get a readable copy but glad you are giving it a try and will  run it a 
few more nights.
I will let the receiver run a couple more nights here also to see if I can  
get any WSPR
decodes.   
 
If the weather is nice enough you might try a daytime test with Dex as I 
remember he was able to get QRSS copy on your beacon in the  daytime.
