WSPR on 20m, trying to snag DP1POL…

March 12, 2009 | Amateur Radio | By: Mark VandeWettering

I don’t think this is going to work, but I noticed that DP1POL is currently reporting WSPR spots and being spotted from his base in IB59uh. That’s Antartica. I couldn’t resist the temptation to try, so I’ve shifted my WSPR beacon over to 20m and upped the power to 5 watts to see if I can get him. Currently, he seems to be getting mostly Europe, but I thought I’d give it a try. My grabber is down for a little while while I make this (probably futile) attempt.

Update: I’ve resumed normal 30m grabber/beacon ops, again using step morse.
