It has been a long time ago that I did some WSPR tests. Since I still got the 160m inverted-L up I wanted to do some range test with 1W WSPR.
Below the stations that reported me. No DX but not that bad.
Not really satisfied about my reception. Below the stations I reported. The Inverted-L is not really a good receive antenna for 160m. You really need some kind of beverage system or a loop on ground.
I have to dismantle the inverted-L today since the radials are all over the place in the garden. I really need to make a more permanent system. But I don't know yet what. Have been experimenting with a shunt fed tower in 2019. It was a really nice system which did well. I might set it up again.

Wow, I can only dream of putting up a 160m antenna at my house... :-)
Alex, to transmit you probabely need some space. But to receive there are so many other solutions. From a simple loop on ground to a multi turn loop and from a ferrite rod antenna to a mini whip antenna. Enough to experiment with on 160m, even if you have limited space. 73, Bas
