Thanks Eddie.=20

I think WSPR2 is roughly equivalent to QRSS10, so some 5dB(?) better than QR=
SS3. It is possible that people did not detect the QRSS3 signal because of t=
his, but more probable that the "manual" decode required did not happen.=20

There is NO doubt in my mind that WSPR in all its flavours is an excellent r=
esearch tool because of the Internet feedback.=20
