ALL;
Thanks to all, for your time and effort in attempting to capture my WSPR
signal. The best I can conclude from this test is that I don't have
enough signal being radiated yet for anyone to hear at this time of
year. I know for sure I have a signal on my property, and it can be
decoded. How far that signal travels is the unknown Hi Hi.
Over the weekend, I have come up with an idea of how to move the PA to
the base of the antenna. I hopefully will get that done today (Mon) with
only a short outage. In my past tests on 2200m, when I get the exciter
too close to the antenna, the RF confuses the uP. I hope that change
increases the EIRP by removing any feedline loss. Later this week I will
give up on 2200m, test 600m again, then get the lowfer back on the air.
Again thanks to everyone who devoted the receiver time.
