Re: WSPRSONDE

I submitted MW monitoring recordings to HamSCI for the solar eclipses in 2023 & 2024, so I'm a little familiar with their work. I would like to help with the WSPRSonde project, and while I have a good-sized lot, it's still not large enough to meet their requirements. I do plan on parking my radi...

Re: What does your listening post look like?

The TEF6686 goes from $101 to over $200 on Amazon, and none have reviews. Did you get yours from there, or AliExpress (or elsewhere)?

Very impressive collection! I can understand the redundancy - you're forced to be your own parts store.

Re: Strange afternoon MW DX flare (5,500 and 7,500km!)

That's a pretty amazing catch - and good job with the SIGINT getting it identified!
