That's a great idea Mike.I am in Sartell. I usually leave my log periodic pointed SE, but it got frozen on East with the rain we had.I'll move it back when I can, but the beam is fairly wide. I notice N0QDS is running 20W. I can hear him but he doesn't hear me with 5W. So I went to 20W on 6m. We'll see what happens. Of course if we get a nice opening, then the power will be overkill.Rob - K0XLOn Fri, Dec 5, 2025 at 8:54 PM Mike P <mikepask1@gmail.com> wrote:I can put up some 6 meter WSPR no problem.I been very busy lately. I was even going to try 2M wspr someday.I usually do 160M and other HF bands.I am in Forest Lake, which direction on 6M for 200mW for now. I could do more but try that for now.Miken0odk73______________________________________________________________On Fri, Dec 5, 2025 at 3:03 PM <nlrs-request@mailman.qth.net> wrote:Send NLRS mailing list submissions to

Thanks Ray,
I have also been playing with WSPR as a result of your presentation at
Aurora.
It is a lot of fun and very informative.
Problem is .... there are very few stations anywhere in the Midwest (or
even the US) WSPRing on VHF.
I have been WSPRing with 5W on 6m off and on from Nov 19th thru Dec 1st.
I have 106 6m spots during that time .... ALL from N0QDS running 20W :-)
N0QDS (nor anyone else) has not heard my 5W signal.
We could Fix that with more participation :-)
These are the 15 stations who heard N0QDS on 6m in the last 5 weeks.
