Furthermore it appears that the database at WSPRnet is clever enough to apply that 6-figure locator to any spots others make of your own transmissions.... If you notice Andy's reports all show him simply as "IO90" - when most other people are 6-figure accurate. I can only assume it's because he's never sent a spot to the database as a RX station, with his accurate 6-figure locator attached. If he did so then all later reports of HIS signal would be 6-figure accurate too, due to the database cleverness. Not really a problem, but it aids accurate distance calculation. Cheers, John GM4SLV
