iz8dwf | 50 MHz CW Backscatter at IZ8DWF station (JM87AW) @iz8dwf | Uploaded February 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Backscatter recorded from my own signals on October 24 2015 at around 16 UTC. Antenna is 8 elements yagi and power from FT-920 is around 100W. The FT-920 RX-TX delay is just short enough to hear the end of the return signal.
This kind of backscatter originates from strong TEP openings. Some similar scatter can be originated even from strong and broad sporadic-E openings but usually the round-trip time is too short to hear own station's signal.
Two stations having a strong opening to the same area can make QSO on the scattered path.
Most distant (as of feb. 2016) stations worked from IZ8DWF on TEP/F2 scatter are KP4 (various stations, various occasions), HI3TEJ, BV2DQ.
