Today I did my first proper transmissions on 472-479kHz, although I did operate for a few hours before Christmas when there was some confusion over the NoV start date. Results today have been excellent with just ~10mW ERP from the short vertical antenna.

| 14 unique stations reporting my QRPp WSPR today on 474.2kHz |
Best DX is 990km, a very promising start on the new band. In addition, I appear to be suffering less noise on the new band than on 500kHz so I have been able to copy 6 unique WSPR stations so far.
In summary, a good few hours on the new band.
