[SADXA] 40m DX SOLAR NOON DX CHASE - WSPR results from AA7FV

[Darrel]

I ran 40m WSPR again today from about 2 hours before to about 2 hours 
after solar noon.
The rhombic beam antenna has a few dB of gain towards Europe, but has 
relatively strong sidelobes around 0 dBi or more in most other directions.
I transmitted 10 times per hour.  This resulted in several thousand 
reports over the period, from 241 separate stations.

Here's a list of UTC when I was being heard by a given DX station, and 
the call or call area.

1710 - 1842 JA (2 separate stations)
1714 - 1742 BA7JA (Guangzhou, China)
1926 - 2134 OE (3 separate stations)
1926 - 2134 HB9TMC
1926 - 2134 DL, DK (12 stations)
2018 - 2134 F (2 separate station)
2048 - 2134 G (4 separate stations)
2048 - 2134 SV9KI
2054 - 2134 LX1DQ
2102 - 2134 PA (7 stations)
2102 - 2134 I (3 stations)
2108 - 2134 F61695 (SWL, Reunion Isle) (my best DX today)
2116 - 2126 EA (2 stations)
2122 - 2126   ZS3D, ZS3RF
2134   OH7KAA

   I think none of these occurred *exactly* at local solar noon, but 
many from Europe are within a few minutes.
However, they are all during Tucson daylight, and  I think all it really 
shows that 40m is open for DX at the moment during most daylight hours.

Note that none of these are 2-way QSOs.  They are all reception reports, 
posted on the Internet, of my 40m WSPR signal being heard.

                   Cheers,
                          Darrel, aa7fv.
