The Weak Signal Propagation Reporter Network is a group of amateur radio operators using K1JT's MEPT_JT digital mode to probe radio frequency propagation conditions using very low power (QRP/QRPp) transmissions. The software is open source, and the data collected are available to the public through this site.

Prop Map does not work on IE6 -- OK on Firefox

Just reporting that the Prop Map function seem to hang on IE 6 (yes, I should upgrade but I am can not due to other apps that will not work on IE7. Prop Map works fine on latest version of Firefox.

No display on main window (yet decodes in all_MEPT.txt file)

I must be doing something dumb. Just loaded the 1_r972 version and no decodes appear on the main screen yet everything else looks normal including decodes in all_MEPT.txt file. Any one else run into this issue?

wsjt version 7.0 r973 uploads

i tried to upload the all.txt from version 7.0
and got for each record an upload error.
did the log-format change ?

Transmit percent

I am a newbee to WSPR. 3 hours, I think!
In WSPR 1.0 you can tell the program what the frequencies you wish to use are. In WSJT7 you can't .. are they fixed by choosing the band?
Next, in 1.0 you can give it a % to transmit. in WSJT7 you can't .. at least I havn't found it if you can. Is it fixed? Random?
Thanks in advance.

F6EPY's Yellow Cruise 2008: WSPR QSO mode from JT land

Starting from july 27th, I will be travelling with a group from the astronomy club of Orsay (France) from Ulaan-Baatar to the Altaï mountains to watch the total solar eclipse of august 1st, 2008.

http://f6epymongolia2008.blogspot.com/

I should be QRV from JT land during the trip through the Gobi desert and from the eclipse camp with the following callsign:

JT1EPY Ulaanbaatar
JT1EPY/6 Uvur-Hangai province
JT1EPY/8 Gobi-Altai province
JT1EPY/0 Khovd province

(Thank you again to Khos JT1CD, Secretary of the MARS)

WSPR 1.0 and WSJT7 with WSPR QSO mode downloaded

I found WSPR 1.0 and WSJT7 with WSPR QSO mode today on Joe's (K1JT) site. I already downloaded them and installed both programs. So far they are running well.

So: Where to place WSPR QSO frequencies in the bands ?? We should *NOT* use the WSPR beacon frequencies !!!
I have no idea (for the moment) if appropriate 200 .. 400 Hz (Yes Hertz) segments above or below the WSPR frequencies are available ?!?

So comments please ...

WSPRnet.org moved

I've moved the server on which WSPRnet.org resides. Please let me know if you notice any issues which might be a result of the move.

I also cleaned a bunch of bogus spots out of the database earlier today. I know there are a few more bad spots, but not thousands!

Equipment baseline

There have been a few threads on antennas, but I think it's important to provide more than that. An equipment baseline can give the amateur receiving the spot a lot more information about just how strong/good the propagation was, and how effective changes on their end are. There is certainly a difference in being received at low power over any distance by a person with a 100FT tower and tribander than the fellow with the 33' long wire.

At M0DUO I am using the following on WSPR:

Multimode MEPT 10.140073MHz MSF Locked again

On the 16th of June I noticed some instability on my MSF time locking system on my MEPT on 10.140073MHz. I thought I sorted it but yesterday there were no Spots. I was busy and only popped in the shack to change bands etc.
A further check today revealed that whilst there was no instability there was no sync either and hence the WSPR was off on timing.

Apologies for this. It is now back on test with a slight modification, please check for Spots of the WSPR.
Reports/Captures are welcome of the Graphical modes also.

New WSPR ham

I am nteresting in this mode. I try make QSO with low power on sort wave.
I am 61 years old and living in Kaunas, Lithuania. I have also held the calls LY2NH, LY2PAM, JT0/LY2PAM
Now i am using TRX ICOM-706 in QRP mode and dipoles antenna.
My hobby - QSO on 40 and 30 M in digital mode.

G3ZJO Multimode MEPT + WSPR on 10.140073MHz

My Multimode MEPT on 10.140073MHz has had a new visitor tonight.
Being in the Graphical Mode Sector (10.140000 to 10.140100MHz) it normally, unless someone miss tunes in error, literally does require a visit. Simply by setting the Dial frequency to 10.1386 and the Frequency in the 10.140100 to 10.140200MHz range.
The MEPT provides a guaranteed drift fee WSPR signal every 6 minutes starting on the Hour. After XX:18 the sequence then repeats at XX:20 and XX:26 etc up to the hour.
Power output is a genuine 40mW to a 10MHz 1/2 Wave Dipole.

Found a bug

When I adjust the time with the "Dsec"-button it change somtines the report-time from even to uneven.
In that case you find it in the database.

13702 km 8514 mi on 30m

I monitored 30m most of the weekend. Received many continental USA & CAN stations and a few European ones. Most impressive was 13702 km from 1 watt of ZL1BPU in New Zealand with S/N from -19 to -27dB.

Anybody there on 6metres?

I have been WSPRing on 6m all morning. I didn't see any stations at all. I use a loft mounted halo, so not brilliant, but at least its omnidirectional.

I have just resurrected another laptop from retirement. I'm still assessing how good the clock is, but it has been ok for several hours. I can now run two stations, presently 6m and 30m, although 6m is off right now. In principle I would like to do some serious measurements at 6m, always a band that has fascinated me, but it does need some responses.

Bug key?

Im on automatic operation on dial 10.13865 (so I can catch Eu QRPP MEPT's with mixed WSPR content in the visual 10,140000 to 10,140100 range) Tx carrier 10140161 or near at 20% until advised; and on the smaller tx/rx modified Radio shack CB whip with the rabbit ears top loading.

We have had to move out of sections on the property as we have infestations of insects which have to be removed inc all woodwork - gives a whole new meaning to bug key...

shortest DX?

Just checked back over todays reports:-

2008-05-23 11:24 G8EUX 10.140150 -7 0 IO92md +33 1.995 G8EUX IO92md 0 0

anybody say how that was done? I use automatic spot upload. However, I noticed that my PC clock was out this morning - it keeps excellent time mostly, but I think the anti-virus did a download this morning, which may have slowed the clock.
