Hi Andy,

Thanks for the wspr-15 report. Sorry you have such a noise floor 
problem. Op32 should decode more easily than wspr-15 but fluctuations in 
noise and timing may cause the reverse  (those modes take a long time to 
decode and 1200Z is near when sunrise causes DX to tank).

I haven't monitored 630 meters for awhile but seldom notice EU decodes 
at https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html. A few EU hams and VK4YB are 
active on 136 kHz fst4w but at the 5-min transmission rate they seldom 
decode here. 160 mtrs has been devoid of FT8 decodes for me too. Even 
most Caribbean stations seldom decode, yet LU8DPM regularly does. Go figure.

73, Garry, K3SIW, EN52ta, Elgin, IL
