VK1AD WSPRLite beacon past 24 hours to 0945 UTC 26 March 2017
Radio amateur stations in Europe, North America, New Zealand and Australia who report receiving my 20m 100 mW WSPRLite signal. My antenna is a 40m OCF wire dipole with the feed point at 8 metres above ground level.

Nicely done Andrew. I’ve been watching your WSPRLite posts with interest. I finally ordered one yesterday. Should be here in a week or two. I’ve done some WSPR-ing with my IC-718 and a SignaLink USB but short of an external attenuator I can only dial it down to 1 W. I’m looking forward to getting the WSPRLite on the air and doing some testing. 73, Tim KA9EAK
Hi Tim it’s equally interesting to observe how far a signal can travel even when poor band conditions are predicted. I will soon have a multiband HF vertical mounted over my garage metal roof, I plan to compare the radion patterns of my 40m OCF dipole against a homebrew vertical. All good fun especially when I can’t get out to play SOTA. I will be interested to follow your WSPRlite implementation. 73 Andrew VK1AD
Isn’t it amazing how far a really weak signal can be heard? The power of QRP!
