WSPR Frequency: Dial 10.1387 MHz USB (occupied bandwidth 10.1401 - 10.1403 MHz)

Grid location: OF88II

Local Time = +8:00 hours (0:00 = 8:00AM)

Transmission Power 37 dBm (5Watts)

SSN (Sun Spot Number): 23

Equipment: TS-930 at 5W, Radio computer interface

Antenna:  Doublet Antenna: Multi-band dipole with T-Match tuner and 4-1 Current Balun 

                Sloper Antenna:  Sloper Antenna  -  40 & 15m Bands with T-Match tuner  

                L Antenna:          L Antenna with T-Match tuner  

This exercise was to compare the L antenna and 40m Sloper with the main station antenna used for operations on the 30m amateur band.

Conclusion is that there is no compelling performance deference between the Antennas however the 40 Sloper showed a modest advantage for paths into North America.

WSPR 30m band activity data recorded for a 24 hour period from 22/03/2017 to 25/03/2017 showing SNR against UTC time, Vertical axis = dB below the noise floor. 

WSPR 30m band activity data recorded for a 24 hour period from 22/03/2017 to 25/03/2017 showing distance in km against UTC time.

Vertical axis = km
