These frequencies have always been known as the best for long distant transmission , but in the ( old days ? ) you would have had to build your own TX ( using a couple of transistors , and super decent antenna ! ) ....... DAVE™🛑
Hello, I am a new ham operator and got the 80 to 10 which works great on My Go2 antenna. I live in a HOA. It reaches europe, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and the entire USA. When it is directly connected to the My Go 2 antenna with the gps on the House window. I have not yet received my ordered ICom 7300. So I do not have a transceiver as of yet. I was told that this is stand alone and would not need to have my antenna hooked up to this once its programmed and operating by a fellow ham operator. So, if i physically remove My go 2 antenna from the transmitter output port , the programming site shows its still operating but the WSPR Rocks site will no longer show new contacts like its not operating. Will the WSPR Transmitter model 80 T to 10 operate without the actual antenna connected to the WSPR transmitter or do I need to install a Y fitting or manual switch on my actual antenna so that I can use my Icom 7300 on my go 2 antenna or switch the My go 2 antenna to the WSPS so its one or the other? Also will the GPS antenna always have to stay connected to the WSPR or will the actual position on the WSPR allow me to remove the GPS antenna? Not as concerned about the GPS as I am how do I use my one antenna for both the WSPR transmitter and the ICOM 7300 at the same time?
@@59radio22 So do I put some type of Y connector or coax switcht to attach both the transceiver and wspr to the coax antenna? Or do use the antenna for one or the other by maually attaching the antenna to only one of them at a time?
I would appreciate any advice that you might offer. I would like to be able to see what frequencies have the most traffic so that I can try and have the best shot of making a contact . My desire is to be able to monitor on my PC and then without switching coax from wspr to transceiver , transmit on my transceiver. Is this possible with just the one antenna?
As a QRP operator with nothing over 5 Watts I say great stuff. One problem we have is high powered stations operating close to the frequency. I mean, come on, 1,000+ Watts! Nobody needs that much power. 100 Watts is QRO to me. We are allowed 400 but I don't want it. G4GHB.
I have several of these WSPR desktop transmitters. Their performance is exceptional using an OCF Dipole antenna. I highly recommend these. 73, KE8NQL.
I'm having fun trying different things with it

It needs an antenna connected to it. Otherwise it will damage the internal transmitting unit

Thanks for watching
With the right propagation anything is possible but I think you got very very very lucky. Don't count on this happening again.
Ya. I was surprised
