Hi all. WB6YRW (Stu) here located in the Silicon Valley (home is very close to San Jose, CA). I received my desktop midplus yesterday and got it operational in 30 minutes. Easy and excellent / simple instructions. Config / Antenna * using the default power output (max) * transmitting on all available mid bands * connected to my 522 foot 160m to 10m skyloop antenna Below is a link to my google photo album documenting unpacking, setup, and initial operation. I am also adding screen shots mapping the geo locations I make from time to time. https://photos.app.goo.gl/A1D2NHdiVBSZvzbBA I documented the 522 ft skyloop build at eham.net (forum section: Antennas, Towers and More. Thread is called Debugging a "160m skyloop..." Building a full size skyloop has been a bucket list item for me. Test and tuning this loop took quite awhile, and a lot of hams around the world gave me a lot of advice, which is documented in that thread. I have been using the skyloop with my Icom 756Pro and the Icom IC2KL amp (just over 500 watts out) to test the skyloop. As I began testing and wanting to better understand the skyloop antenna efficacy and propagation characteristics, it dawned on me to use a WSPR transmitter to quickly run experiments in an automated / scientific method fashion. Results of Midplus with skyloop in the first 24 hours of operation: * Covered all of North America including Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada within the first 6 hours of operation * Overnight covered Japan, Australia and New Zealand * Longest distance as of now = 7944 miles / 12,784 kilometers. (San Jose to Australia) I will let this run for the next 30 days and updating the Google photo album with global screen shots, like above, from time to time. Success would be to cover Western EU, Eastern EU, Africa, and South America with this current equipment / antenna configuration. I will purchase the highplus Zachtek desktop to run experiment 2 - Same antenna, same number of days run, but operating on all highplus bands. If I don't hit my success criteria, then I will begin two subsequent experiments. One experiment will involve changing the skyloop antenna hanging points; there were compromises I had to make hanging the skyloop in an urban neighorhood home setting. The second will involve getting a micro amplifier. So far, Henry's desktop and my skyloop build are more than exceeding my expectations! More results will be posted. In the mean time, I will continue posting map results in the google photos and tweak updates in that eham thread. -stu WB6YRW
