[Lowfer] WE2XPQ WSPR's into TX (WG2XIQ)

[John Langridge]

Mike, Gary - thanks!
Laurence's success actually goes even deeper and I don't think it was reported here yet.  I didn't know about it until after my post here this morning.

Apparently, Yas, JA7SCD, spotted Laurence over night during a period were K went to 0.  We knew it would happen eventually and after a full winter of poor high lat condx, it appears to be busting open again.. Maybe we will have a great spring and summer as we did last year..

73!

John XIQ

John, Garry & All:  Congrats on the rx decode from XPQ John. As Garry said 
no XPQ decodes here in EN90xn, although

I did have 16 VE7BDQ decodes, the first at 0400 and last at 0840 UTC. Best 
SNR as -13 and weakest -31 from BDQ

2015-03-13 04:00   VE7BDQ   0.475743   -31   0   CN89la   5   WA3TTS/2 
EN90xn   3470   89

2015-03-13 07:20   VE7BDQ   0.475743   -13   0   CN89la   5   WA3TTS/2 
EN90xn   3470   89

2015-03-13 08:40   VE7BDQ   0.475743   -17   0   CN89la   5   WA3TTS/2 
EN90xn   3470   89


XPQ did report a single decode from XJM last nite, so apparently the several 
1000ft spools of ground

wire Eric has out on the TX antenna ground in combination with the ongoing 
melt event helped to make that path possible....

2015-03-13 07:34   WG2XJM   0.475775   -27   0   EN91wr   5   WE2XPQ 
BP51ip   4961   321


I had the FT-817 in use as the IF receiver last night, but tonight I will 
make sure the FT-847 is in service tonight with it's better rx front

end and  IF filtering....

73, Mike wa3tts
