I'm begining to think that something is quite wrong with the beacon monitoring station. So much so that this week I'll be using it for WSPR just to do some checks. Its been hooked up to the Hustler 6-BTV and will also be TX'ing as well on the 15m band as a compromise.
The idea is to get a feel for wether there is a problem with the receiver or that there is something wrong in the set up as there are so few spots coming through especially as the activity seems to be on the increase
Good morning Alex just wondering if your determined if that was any troubles anywhere?
ReplyDeleteHi Mike,
ReplyDeleteSo far it looks like there may be troubles and also that there is just no path at the moment to my QTH. Checking WSPRnet found a few spots, some on the east coast of the US on 15m @1w.
Stations on similar lattitudes to me such as GI4DOH are getting much better responses that the blank canvas that I'm getting. I think that there must be some kind of problem somewhere to be struggling to get any spots at all.
Antenna is next on the checking list...but I think I'll wait until the torrential rain stops
