South Georgia and Antarctica all copying my tiny 1W WSPR signal on 40m!
Not heard in Antractica last night but very happy to be decoded on their two receivers this evening:
Nothing received in the Antarctic yet but nice to see a couple of spots on Reunion Island and a spot at the Canadian Acrtic station.
1W from QCX Mini …
Comparison of my entry between 2021 and 2022:
DXCC in one contest!
Despite that on Saturday morning the conditions were not great:
28.680MHz / Scottie 2 …. worldsstv
Then this one popped up out of the noise!
Disappointing!

I’ve been enjoying a bit of SOTA chasing recently:
The Drowned Rats were out in the field for the 2m Trophy contest last weekend from JO01JA in Kent. Good weather, a first class station and fun with friends, throw in a hot-tub and a few cold beers for good measure and what more can you ask for!
