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

[craig wasson]

I tried listening to wspr-15 on 137KHz last night for the first time in
about a year.  I thought things were working pretty bad since I only got
one decode which was N1BUG.  But looking at the wsprnet.org database, I
seem to be the only decode for that signal, so feeling a little better?

Running WSPR-X from an SDR-IQ with a short amplified vertical whip.
