I will be monitoring. In fact I have been running WSPR-X (the 
necessary software for receiving WSPR-15) for a few days now.

The computer uses Win-10 and the software runs reliably, but I am not 
sure if I originally set it up in compatibility mode. In fact I am 
able to run WSJT-X (for WSPR-2), Opera and WSPR-X at the same time.
