    472kHz (630m) WSPR RX

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:21 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/09/472khz-630m-wspr-rx.html


    Since about 1930z, I have been on 472kHz RX using the
    earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground. So far, 3 unique stations spotted
    with the furthermost EI0CF (602km). I am just using the earth-electrode straight into the FT817ND with no attempt at matching.
    UPDATE 2020z: 6 unique stations spotted with the furthermost SM6NOC
    (1056km).
