Wspr on 10m

I am currently running the WSPR station on 10m, Dial setting : 28.124600MHz, also looking for QRSS signals on 28.125900 to 28.126000MHz.

Using a FT-817 running 10% tx-ing when I am home, otherwise just rx-ing.

I have only had a single spot today from IZ1ERR in JN35, so I guess activity is quite low atm.

I am looking forward to the peak(s) of the sporadic E season.

FT-817 PA failure

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.
