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.

WSPR Activity

I was on the air today, transmitting and receiving in WSPR on 10140 kHz (30 metre band) in three sessions: 01:30 to 03:40, 17:00 to 18:00, and 19:56 to 23:30 UTC. 5 watts output, transmitting 20% of the time. Here's who heard me, according to WSPRnet:
  • 01:30 W3HH Ocala FL.
  • 01:30 W5OLF Lone Tree CO.
  • 01:30 N4ABN Fruita CO.
  • 03:40 N5WY Dallas TX.
  • 17:02 KX1H Lebanon TN.
  • 17:22 WB4HYY/4 Sylvia NC.
  • 17:36 N3PU Cumming GA.
  • 20:02 KL7UK/5 Bartlesville OK.
  • 20:40 K0GUN Verona MO.
  • 20:40 N4IP Atlanta GA.
  • 21:08 K9AN Urbana IL.
  • 21:28 KE3PL Blairsville GA.
  • 21;48 AB2AN Williamsburg VA.
Here are the stations I heard during this time (ignoring multiple receptions of the same station):
  • 01:34 W3HH Ocala FL 1 watt.
  • 01:46 N4ABN Fruita CO 5 watts.
  • 02:58 G4BJO Stowmarket England 1 watt.
  • 17:04 KX1H Lebanon TN 5 watts (later 2 watts).
  • 17:50 AB2AN Williamsburg VA 5 watts.
  • 19:56 KB1TUG Warwick RI 5 watts.
  • 20:36 KC8NN Marquette MI 5 watts.
  • 20:56 N4IP Atlanta GA 5 watts.
  • 22:28 KE7A South Lake TX 5 watts.
  • 23:20 N3PU Cumming GA 1 watt.
  • 23:26 HB9TPL St. Sulpice Switzerland 2 watts.
I'm impressed by how many stations reported receiving my signal. And I'm impressed with the the ability of WSPR to allow me to receive and decode 1 and 2 watt stations from England and Switzerland. Impressive mode.
