It is all inter related. But a few fundamentals are
necessary. If it is so bad with for instance a 24 dB disadvantage I would MOVE
or pack it in.
Too many excuses are used, the amateur has enough space
for a reasonable antenna but says he is concerned about what the neighbours
might think. I have heard this so many times. How much space does a 60 ft
vertical take up, less than half a sq metre.
Surely when a radio amateur is looking for a property he
has antennas in mind and looks for the largest real estate he can
afford.
especially if interested in MF or LF.
So wspr is totally dependent on the Receive operator ? and
a vy quiet location. I thought the whole idea was to overcome this
problem
It is not working, as I said looking at the wspr database,
some stns are not even aware that others are active because of lack of signal
for what ever reason.

May be , may be not Mal
The system is reading the s/n at the
Rx and not the field strength
........ depends on the local noise level ,
rst 159 or 599 , carrier still
S9 , 1= qrm 5= no qrm

Example
I am receiving PA3EGO + 2dB another UK stn is showing
-22 at a shorter distance. A difference of 24 dB
and this station says he is an Expert!!

One thing the wspr DB shows is how poor some
Receivers/Antennas are comparing like with like approximately same distances
from Transmitter.
