At the tide's edge.

A quick visit down to the beach again this afternoon, see what was cooking on 17 and 20m.

View from 'the shack' at high tide.

 

After a few FT8 QSOs on both bands, I turned very briefly (13:30-13:52UT) to some 1W WSPR at 14MHz.  The results were very pleasing.

 

22 minutes' worth of WSPR effort at 14MHz.

For example, here's KL7L receiving everyone at the time.  Not so many from Britain getting across to him.  Compared to my signal, G7WAW/P was only 1dB weaker, on a Watt-for-Watt basis - a very good performance, though I don't know what antenna was in use yet.  

G0IDE was 12dB weaker on a Watt-adjusted basis.

Meanwhile, VK7FLYN was receiving me 10-11dB stronger than G0CCL, and 13dB stronger, on an output-normalised basis, than both G0IDE AND M1DRK, the only other UK stations getting across to him at this time.
