Looks like the PA of my FT-817 gave up the ghost. Maximum 50 - 100mW out of the transceiver, whatever I do.
It looked for a day or two like my WSPR signals on 10MHz were soewhat down, and quite right, minimalist output there.
I have decided to leave it as is for now, a bit of output is still there, but a repair has to be done at a later stage.
Also, I decided to move the FT-817 *as it is now, on 10 meters, so listening and *really* WSPRing on 28.126120 MHz if anyone pops up there I will be leaving the reporter on and with an estimated output power of 50mW, running concurrently with SpectrumLab for QRSS on 28.125900 - 28.126000 MHz, running with a full wave 10m loop inside my balcony, tuneable from 10 - 20m with reasonable efficiency.
Opening on the 40 MHz band between the UK and Australia - 8th Nov 2025

Even though we have passed the peak of the current sunspot cycle,
conditions on the higher HF bands and the low VHF region are still very
good.
On the 8...
