10m WSPR spots 25 Oct 2012

10m WSPR spots @ G4ILO 25 October 2012

No WSPR map yesterday as I spent too much time making phone (SSB, FM) and digital (PSK31) contacts on 10m. Today it seems as if half the stations I hear (or see) I have already worked!

Fell asleep after lunch so the WSPRing went on uninterrupted. This was the result.

I have spent much of the last few days taking advantage of the fantastic conditions on 10 metres. But it is Olga’s birthday today so I stayed out of the shack leaving the K3 free for WSPR duty. That produced some rather impressive results as you can see from the map. (Note for newcomers to the blog, this was achieved with 2 watts to an attic dipole.)

Some good propagation today. A good opening across the Atlantic seems to have caught operators by surprise. One US station remarked that he wan’t hearing much on 10 metres.

I snatched the K3 away from WSPR duty long enough to work CO8LC in Cuba and Dave, N8DC in Michigan. Also heard several other US states as well as KP4 (Puerto Rico).

Not very good propagation today. Several two-way spots with EA8FF and even more with UA6AAK, otherwise only ‘local’ stations.

This will be the last one of these I shall be posting for a while as I want to do some antenna comparisons on different bands.

BTW someone asked if the colours of the lines showing the signal paths mean anything. I have no idea. Do they?
