Last night I let WSPR run on 500kHz for the first time this season
and Surprise! I found WD2XSH/17 FN42PB in the WSPR log this morning
several times between 02 and 04 UTC
I was hoping for DX but this was a big surprise and my first USA
heard. After hearing the VX9MRC in GN37 last season I was hoping
for Stateside.
The signal was -32 to -21 strongest. It was a one way contact I was
not heard there 35-40W output to the vertical was not enough. I had
to repair the QTX first since the last "small" WIKA 6800nF 63V did
blow out that one I left in because it was direct over the 50ohm
output and difficult to replace hoping it would stand...
Also got report from HA3KC LA6TPA and the more local EU's
