A prosperous 2020 also for the remaining days of 2019

WSPR 80m/160m with short Beverage

Recently neighbor farmer was so nice to came by and said Der komen gain kauwen meer op 'tland  kanst dien droaden neer hangn zoalst wilst. Meaning  the cattle will stay in for the winter and i can span my wires as i like . I had doubts about the East Beverage not being effective for VK / JA Now with a  short about 100m wire in N-E direction results are far better to JA / VK JA5NVN is regular decoded it was rarely never? seen on the 350m  east Beverage. A longwire should be 2 or more wave's long to be effective? But  also at 1.908 USB dial  i see many JA FT8  decoding's in evening time before JA SR. This evening again good grayline at 80m WSPR TimestampCallMHzSNRDriftGridPwrReporterRGridkmaz 2019-12-12 17:30  VK7DIK  3.570141  -22  0  QE38cu  5  PA0O  JO33hg  16733  308  2019-12-12 15:34  VK7DIK  3.570140...
