Continuing improvement for HF signals propagation. At least based on 24 h of monitoring FT8 signals on all bands, 10 m through 160 m, via MLA-30+ loop antenna here in Vancouver. Tuning with PDSDR on 16 frequencies simultaneously.

Almost 100 countries in 24 h. Monitoring FT8 signals into my Vancouver QTH via PDSDR (listening to 16 frequencies, covering 10 through 160 m, simultaneously) and MLA-30+ loop antenna. Greatest distance: 16,571 km, ZS4AW, in South Africa.

Quick glance at the performance of the amazing PDSDR, which receieves, and processes, FT8 traffic on 16 frequencies simultaneously. Even better, it is a standalone device, so no need to tie up a computer for it.

Continuing to get terrific results with the amazing PDSDR, which is simultaneously receiving and decoding 16 FT8 frequencies spread across the bands from 6 m through 160 m, all from a single antenna (MLA-30+loop). This antenna works best on 10 through 20 m bands.

24 h monitoring 16 FT8 frequencies with the PDSDR box. It's a standalone box; no computer needed. I have it attached to an MLA-30+ loop antenna here in CN89, Vancouver. First time I see more than 1900 transmitters shown in PSKreporter summary.

Rebound continues. Note that PSKreporter limits the mapping lines it can show. In this case it can't show all the lines for 24 h of FT8 into my 10-160 m receiver. The totals displayed are correct however. Using MLA-30+ loop antenna, PDSDR.
