WSPR propagation reporter 4m first time to 4X1RF

 4X1RF  4m WSPR  for the first time.
After many many 6m reports

Thanks Chris for starting listening 4m as the only outside EU 4m DX  WSPR ham.
Much more must be possible  9K Gulf area  but not many hams or SWL seems to be interested.
SWL WSPR reports are much! appreciated and  direct visible in the online map / database.
I like to be QRV when at QRL this wspr mode is by far the best beacon mode and! reporter.
It is the only tx/rx mode unattended it can be combined with CW ID to be human decodable.


Strange that the 4m web site never mentioned  the existence of WSPR propagation reporter.
The best propagation tool ever is not recognized.
In stead using their existing radio in WSPR mode
Some 4m hams are planning to build high power beacons.

was this a genuine decode ?  i want to be sure of course

10:134X1RFJaap, decodes were 100% on 4m, funny you ask, Hi! Used the HPSDR with preamp and 70MHz filter

i checked ALL_WSPR.tx
150709 0650                70.092499  Transmitting PA0O JO33 37          
150709 0658  10 -20 -0.5  50.294507  DK8NE JN59 40           0    24    0

150709 0832                50.294479  Transmitting PA0O JO33 37          

I did TX 0714  so that fits


  but  the log file has a gap        no tx 0602 neither 4 or 6
does ALL_WSPR.txt   not  log all events?

4X1RF 6m   is more common

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its n...

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjuste...
