[Lowfer] LF: Re: [rsgb_lf_group] Tonight TX WSPR-2 and WSPR-15

[N1BUG]

Mike and all,

Thank you for listening and for the reports. I was very pleased to 
receive WSPR-2 and WSPR-15 reports from you and WSPR-15 report from 
2E0ILY last night.

With the added PSU fan things seem fine with the high duty cycle. I 
started out at 150 watts RF output. By morning it was closer to 200 
watts as the antenna system resistance slowly decreased during the 
night. WSPR-15 gives me the opportunity to be heard with a bit 
weaker signal and perhaps get a bit more distance.

I'm using a stand alone beacon transmitter so I am not software 
dependent for WSPR transmitting. I do have WSPR-X running as a test 
and it has been stable running Windows 7 compatibility mode on my 
Windows 10 system for a few days. However I will not declare victory 
just yet as it was stable for a few days one other time without 
compatibility mode, then went back to crashing every few minutes.

Probably DFCW could go even further. I plan to try that soon but as 
far as I know there are very few grabbers these days.

73,
Paul N1BUG FN55mf
