Re: LF: WSPRnet problems

Hi Stefan -

I think Joe is as in the dark about the situation as the rest of us, but I can't confirm that.  I believe someone else is the website owner.  WPSR is important to what we do so fortunately we have a couple of guys that are doing a very good job putting together the alternate site.  I saw a demo of the rendering of map data last night and its very fast with real time updates over a variety of persistence scales.  Data queries are what they will work on next.  These guys are part of our independent Part 5 group on 630-meters here in the US and are very good at what they do so I am hopeful about the end result.

73 - more info soon!

Hello John,

Thanks for the update. I was wondering what is going on and why Joe doesn't solve the problem, or some of his workers...
Hopefully there will be a suitable system soon, which manages the rising requests and uploads.

73, Stefan

Good morning,

As most ops already know, the WSPRnet website has been down more than up over the last several days.  There do not appear to be any updates to the status posted any where, at least nothing current.  Its almost as if a "take it or leave it " attitude is now the status quo.  Its a free, volunteer-driven web site that I pay nothing for, so I can't argue.

An alternate data warehousing and rendering system and website is being developed and tested by a father/son team but its not ready yet.  Details will be forthcoming once appropriate. as well as instructions on the new data entry point.

In the mean time, if you find spots in your WSPR console RX window that are noteworthy, please be sure to post them or send me a direct email with the details.  I use this information as part of my daily 630-meter band report.  As you can imagine, the WSPRnet outage has complicated the data gathering and reporting.

Thanks for your assistance.  73!
