More loggings on 472khz WSPR

Over the last week or two, I have been running my 472khz WSPR receiver to see what I could ‘catch’. As you may remember, this is all very simple – the unmodified FT-847 connected up to an untuned Butternut vertical! However it seems to work at least a little!

Some new stations received over the last week or so have been

DK7FC
OR7T
G3XIZ
F4DTL
F5WK
EI0CF
DG3LV

Propagation varies quite heavily from day to day. Some days I hear only a couple of G stations and other days, I hear the more distant DL stations.

If you’ve not tried, I really recommend that you have a listen!
