[Lowfer] OPERA tonite on 500 kHz...

[Bob Raide]

WE2XGR/6 [aka WE6XGR-OPERA mode call sign] I ran OP8 for an hour and went to OP4 for an hour and back to OP8 for final hour. OP8 certainly shows promise as a good compromise speed. On OP8 many decodes were all the way down to -35 [G0KTN]. Best I got on OP4 tonite was a -30. All transmitting tonight was at 200 W and that is 20 W ERP with my antenna.
Thanks to the following for all the decodes;
 
G4WGT
G0KTN [-35 USING OP8]
WU9Q
WW2R
AC4IU
W3NF
N4FRE
K3SIW
N6RY
