10m WSPR TX

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 02:43 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/07/10m-wspr-tx_11.html


I keep forgetting that when on 6m FT8, the 10m antenna is free. As this is
the case, I am on 10m WSPR TX (500mW) at the moment. Already (at 1015z) 11 unique stations spotting me and I have not been on that long! It seems
every slot I get several 10m WSPR spots.
Stations spotting
me to 1315z todayUPDATE 1318z: 36 stations have spotted me so far today on
10m WSPR. My impression is there are more stations on 10m WSPR than last
year.
UPDATE 2142z: Spotted by 66 stations today on 10m WSPR.

AM operation

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 02:15 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/07/am-operation.html


It is some while since I was on 2m or 6m AM.
There has been something of a revival in AM, although AM should not be used
on busy bands. There are AM nets on 160m, 80m and 40m. I am looking forward
to again hearing 10m AM from the USA just above 29MHz.
