My AR activity is limited due to living in a flat, but I did run WSPR (rx only) overnight on 40m and some interesting results came in. The antenna was a Mag Loop (not very well tuned, I might add) and the balcony faces Northwest. The following is what we managed to decode: -
The interesting thing is the reception of the VK stations, as this path is blocked. I suspect that these signals are received long-path. See the table below (click on the image to expand it): -
VK4AQJ came in at a SNR of -6 and -11 respectively, whilst all the other stations were in the -19 to 30 range (similar to the European stations). This would seem to indicate that the VK4 may have been short-path. All interesting stuff! More testing required, I think.
Whilst I have been a licenses Amateur for many years, I have spent little time on the HF bands, so still have much to learn, especially regarding propagation.
