[Lowfer] XR4TN WSPR beacon On The Air - 186.100 KHz - OOPS

[Andy - KU4XR]

OK:  Any thoughts, opinions, observations, feel free to share them..
I am running the radios output thru the 1 watt Class " D " switching
amp.. I haven't tried to look at the output signal with a scope; so
I'm not sure if the signal is being distorted while going thru the
PA !!  To make sure the big signal is actually My Signal; I just set
my TX to 50 %, so No signal in the 02:04 slot, signal in the 02:06
slot, and no signal in the 02:08 slot, and so forth, TX for 1, then
RX for 1... If that pattern shows up in your waterfall, then it must
be my signal... Then, it's either seeable, but not strong enough to
decode, or the waveform is being distorted as it passes thru the PA.

I notice that Davids copy was at -29 SNR, and that's 2dB below what
Joe says will decode consistently.. It may just be borderline signal
for WSPR to decode... Let's see if you get anymore..

Thanks so much for looking, 73:
