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.
