[NLRS] 200, 70, 23 cm WSPR running

Mon Jun 9 12:53:15 EDT 2025

Just set it up with my 9700.  First time on WSPR, so I figured I'd try to
get RX working before venturing into TX.  So far I've decoded N0JCF (loud!)
and K0RAE on 2m.

I'm currently band hopping on 144 and 432,  Rx Only until I have a little
better handle on this.  I think some onmidirectional antennas would be
helpful - all I have up is beams for those two bands, currently pointed
north from EN34iq, so I may not hear folks from east or west of me too well.

Will let it run today while I do other stuff.

When I do enable TX, what's a reasonable power level to choose?

73 de W0ZF
