RF Circuits

Yagi under the stars

Tonight was a good night for WSPR on 2 metre.

I set the radio up on 144.489Mhz and started up the WSPR software .

It took a couple of hours, but finally a report showed up on my screen.

I was just about to go outside to observe the stars, when I happened to look over at the laptop.

There on the screen I could see the callsign G6AVK...
