Perhaps Tony, K2MO, can make some pathsim comparisons of ROS 8 baud with Olivia 32-1000. 73 - Skip KH6TY g4ilo wrote: http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/the-ros-numbers http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/the-ros-numbers Julian, G4ILO

Hi Julian, What are you using to analyze the WSPR data after downloading? Thank you. 73... Jon W1MNK g4ilo wrote: I don't think you can impute anything meaningful from one set of reports. Normal QSB will make a difference of from several to many dB which can only be averaged out over a period of time. WSPR is much better IMO for this sort of thing. You can leave it running, go and do something interesting, then come back later and download all the spots and take an average. You can also transmit simultaneously on two different frequencies using the test antenna and a reference one and compare the reports each one gets. (You have to start the transmit cycles manually in that case, there is no facility in the software for two copies of the program to use the same pattern of transmissions.)

Take a look at the report each station noted at 2136 Europe. I was using my home made ground plane vertical mounted at 17ft (1/4 wave). Southern US stations (mostly SW of me) averaged several dB better signals from me than the Europeans. So can I assume anything meaningful aabout the radiation pattern from this antenna or is the key factor to examine the distance ? The Europeans were twice as far away from my QTH.

My own brain, pencil and paper. :) I just average out the reports from different stations. I use two different transmitters to send two WSPR transmissions at the same time and using the same power on different frequencies using the antenna under test and the one I am comparing it to.

[digitalradio] Another plug for JT65A ... the spectrum efficient mode
I know many are already aware of this, but take a look N9DSJ-1 (EN52ti) Heard N6TE(DM12) on 3576.23 KHz -8dB at 03:32:00Z using JT65A N9DSJ-1 (EN52ti) Heard K3UK(FN02) on 3575.99 KHz -5dB at 03:32:00Z using JT65A Bill N9DSJ decoded two stations within 24 Hz of each other, how is that for spectrum efficiency? I was transmitting 5 watts, Andy K3UK
