CQWWSSB TR4W

I did S&P  looking for goody's  not full time contest. The propagation did peak  Thursday at 10m  a bit too earl y   Just in the weekend the propagation was in a dip but still 10M sho wed  a lot activity  and good dx like KH7 X strong over longpath. N1MM  K3.  I am having more and mo re problems CAT connection is lost  with overflow error pop-up very often . Asking  to send error report almost every few minutes. T he  frequency ruler gives wild frequency's  and the inpu t field is wiped out. I experience t his problem  long time now .   I think it started since the switch   from XP / W2000 to W7 few years back although  also with XP I noticed this problem but rare.  I have n ot observed communication problems when using a normal system comport and W2 k  or XP I think I can say.  V ery an no ying  and some QSO's where lost .

DX index WSPR

28MHz   last 7 day  real good selected on distance    top 100  all  above 16000km DX index 100%     160 and 80  not a single decode >1000km  the low bands are real low these times My 80m experiment wi t h the loop was no improvement.  T he vertical is still bett er but not good enough it needs more distance  from the mast. Will try a fishing rod .  Heard 3B9SP  very good last night on 80m n ot busy, no jamming  but with th e vertical at only1m  from the mast the radiation pattern  is not good enough t o be heard. The 160m inverted-L  is more effect ive .  1/4 wave  is >> then the mast length and th e radiation is not disturbed  2012-10-17 08:04   PA0O   28.126171   -26   0   JO33hg   5   ZL3PX   RE66hm   18519   49   2012-10-17 08:54   PA0O   28.126169   -25   1   JO33hg   5   ZL3PX   RE66hm   18519   49   2012-10-20 07:24   PA0O   28.126165   -22   0   JO33hg   5   ZL3PX   RE66hm   18519   49   2012-10-20 07:36   PA0O   28.126164   -26   0   JO33hg
