137 khz Japan to Texas decodes 1100 UTC 23/9/2022
« on: September 23, 2022, 1914 UTC »
Trans-Pacific decoding of two Japanese 2200m (137 khz) stations into Texas. Mode used was FST4W-1800. TX stations running .5w and 1w EIRP. This is very early in the Fall/Winter DX season for this propagation to occur. Lots of "miles per watt" with this one.  :)

Equipment used was a 22" resonant ferrite loopstick (approx 4 ft. off the ground) with no amplification into an Elad FDM-S2 sdr.
