[Lowfer] WSPR2 overnite in EN90xn

[Michael Sapp]

Hi All:  Good condx to the west overnight on 630m WSPR2.  I listened to the NE up until 0700UTC before switching to the NW EWE antenna,

thinking there was a chance for EU T/A, but it did not happen here.


To the west 21 VE7BDQ captures are much higher than normal.  Best was -15 at 0820

       2015-02-28 08:20   VE7BDQ   0.475735   -15   0   CN89la   5   WA3TTS/2   EN90xn   3470   89 


Likely I could have had a dozen more decodes of BDQ but strong station overload on the WSPR2 software limits the data collection potential.
Several or more times overnite VE7BDQ was plainly visible in what I would estimate as mid to upper -20 SNRs but that is not enough signal level
to bust through 3 or 4 other stations a few Hz away that are 25 to 35 dB stronger. Some type of coordinated East-West even-odd time sequencing by the Part 5 stations would likely help the situation.....

Does not matter to me, but it appears that the west coast stations are missing out on capture data more than occassionally from distant east coast rx stations.

For WH2XGP 32 decodes overnite, best at -14 SNR at 1100 UTC

      2015-02-28 11:00   WH2XGP   0.475684   -14   0   DN07dg   10   WA3TTS/2   EN90xn   3227   89  


Also pleased to report finally capturing a first decode of WG2XSV at -30 SNR at 1116 UTC

      2015-02-28 11:16   WG2XSV   0.475756   -30   0   CN85rq   1   WA3TTS/2   EN90xn   3454   84
