[Lowfer] Was Short Transmissions from VTX-3

[Laurence KL7 L]

 Jay - it looks like the "VTX" peaks are around 12-14Z but determination  isnt east given poor s/n - I thought it would have been stronger here given the mainly water path so Im wondering whether what Im seeing is real.

 

Conditions overall have been the worse of any winter Ive seen over the past 13 years or so - 137 has just been awful over the pole adn thats with improved s/n and slightly (1dB or so) better decodes.

 

600m towards the E/SES has been just ok but still weak sigs compared with previous years and having to use Long decoders to see anything -   WSPR-X WSPR at dot 3 appears slightly better than straight WSPR in my config = last night O have7 decodes of XXM and just 1 of XIQ with none at WSPR15 and nothing at all on any mode of 137 even OP32 didnt produce anything -  IM struggling with the .usr on Spec lab as everything sems to "stop clockwise" on the TIME button on the top of the hour - I need more time to figure this out.

 

Suprised to see all the Opera decodes (I as on 7MHz all day/night) but read the emails and all was clear

 

Cheers
