First reports on my QRSS signal
Despite the low power of 160mW, in the last day or so the signal from my new QRSS has turned up in Nevada and Belgium.
First an image from KK7CC’s grabber, whose receiver is a K2 and is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. (I have added the callsign letters to help identification of the signal).
From KK7CC 0028 UTC 11 Mar 2009
The second pair of images were kindly supplied by Pierre, ON5SL. Who is located in Belgium in grid square JO10tt and was using a 1/4 wave vertical and a Kenwood R5000 receiver.

Pierre reported:
… monitored from 18h59UTC till 23h06UTC Your MEPT was visible ( with QSB and QRM) from about 19h44UTC till “closing time” …
My full QRSS setup is:
- Expanded Spectrum Beacon Controller
- Homebrew QRSS Tx
- Homebrew Z match
- Homebrew 88ft doublet
Thanks to Jerry, KK7CC and Pierre, ON5SL for the images.
Finally, as I finished writing this post I saw my signal on Mark’s, K6HX, grabber. The receiver is located in grid square CM87UX in California.
The id is clear but looks like the signal has drifted a little lower. I need to check that.

Hello Alan,
Thanks for linking to my Maidenhead WWL grid page at http://qth.map.googlepages.com/
Because of changes to Google Sites functionality I had to move the page to another server.
In addition to that I added some functionality:
– distance lines between two squares are now geodesic — the shortest path between two points along the surface of the Earth
– display of bearing information between two squares
– calculation of midpoint along the geodesic line — to help those who use aeroplanes’ reflections for making contact
I would appreciate if you could update the information at your page as well and point the web link to:
