wspr 30m test



Since there is almost no activity on 10 m I am now trying my luck on 30m with 20w.

No activity on this band also.

Switching to 40m band

WSPR tests

10m  WSPR testing.

Tx wspr on 28.124600 Mz at 20W using 160M INV L.

Will appreciate if you would also do the same as I have in mind using 10m frequencies for emcom with AU, ZS,VU and other countries in the IOR  as a 10m yagi can easily be built for DX.You can also invite your AU,ZS and VU friends to do the same.
