A site about the amateur radio hobby and the activities at my amateur radio station. VE3LXL operates mostly on weekends on the HF amateur bands. If you hear me, give me a call - I'm always glad to work someone new.

I also enjoy listening to and DXing broadcast radio. I blog about this on my Greg's Radio Logbook site.

More WSPR Loggings

For the past several days I left the radio on for a few hours each day with WSPR running to see what stations I'd receive. I won't list all of them; that would be boring. But the highlights are interesting. This mode impresses me with its ability to detect and decode very weak signals. Even more so because my receiving antenna is mediocre at best. Here are the highlights:
  • Apr. 8, 00:02 UTC: W9HLY in Indiana on 10140 kHz (30m), 1 watt.
  • Apr. 9, 03:20 UTC: KG5VU in Texas on 10140 kHz, 1/2 watt (500 milliwatts!).
  • Apr. 10, 04:56 UTC: W3HH in Florida on 10140 kHz, 1 watt.
  • Apr. 10, 06:30 UTC: F5JNV in France on 10140 kHz, 5 watts.
  • Apr. 10, 06:34 UTC: F4EFL in France on 10140 kHz, 5 watts.
  • Apr. 11, 01:04 UTC: PY9FP in Brazil on 14097 kHz (20m), 10 watts.
  • Apr. 12, 00:34 UTC: KV6O in Colorado on 14097 kHz, 1 watt.
  • Plus lots of stations from all across North America running 5 watts.
