[Lowfer] 2200m Trans-Atlantic QSO dream...

[lmlangenfeld]

GL, Paul!  I strongly suspect you'll have success.
I'll insert my station work in the "you have all summer to ..." list already provided by the XYL (likely at or very near the bottom).  🤣

One of my big dreams is to complete a two-way QSO across the
Atlantic on 2200m. It has been done. It can be done. My station is
getting close to being ready. I have heard 2E0ILY up to -12 SNR on
WSPR2 and I have been reported with -19 SNR by G8HUH and G0LUJ.

It is too late for this season as QRN is always high now. But for
next winter I should have 3 dB more power and hopefully more/better
receive antennas.

Modes are a bit of a problem. On the best nights JT9 would be easy
but most of the time it would probably have to be QRSS or DFCW. It's
too bad we don't have a very slow digital QSO mode like JT9-10 or such.

So, who is going to take the challenge for a dream QSO next winter?
You have all summer to get the station ready... ;-)
