RVB network reports:

25th Dec 2015  between 15.00 and 17.00 UT 7023,4 KHz
power 200 mW
Ant: 17 m long random wire

I will be testing in the future this power with a magnetic loop antenna, D=110 cm

That's very good going for mW Zoli. Was that using a loop antenna?

Dave today on later afternoon I tested my 200mW with my magloop antenna between 1530-1740 UT.
It was interesting, see the attachmants pics.
Toomorrow I will be cont, my test with magloop in daylight.
I think the result will be better.

200mW. magnetic loop dia: 110 cm (VSWR was not really good, manual tuned in the dark.

A SNR of 34dB at SK3W from a small loop running 200mW is quite amazing !!

I think in this minutes was an unusual condx, beacause our local RVB ha2ksd was stabile 14-15dB SNR. In this time was 27dB. Interesting had no other stations
