Is this the site to download the WSPR-X software, which includes WSPR-15 too? Will it run in a WinXP box, or does it need something faster? http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wspr.html I'm full

I use a small toroid as a current transformer, but it's on the ground side rather than the Ae lead. Since the Marconi antenna, loading coil/variometer, and the ground radials are a series circuit, it
Your signal is making the 2,280 km., path to the east shore of Lake Huron tonight, Joe. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
Hi Jean....nice looking loop....novel idea using the plastic pipe to form the frame. Is the smaller diamond shaped loop inside used to couple it to the preamp/rcvr? 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EA
Hi Joe, If I listen real close, I can audibly hear your CW at times. Spectrum Lab set for QRSS1 shows the 5 second dash just a bit above your chosen frequency. I've made no attempt to calibrate it as
The subject line pretty much says it all. I'll be watching for T/A WSPR15 signals throughout the weekend. My 10 foot octagon loop is zeroed in on EU and UK. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.8
I've succeeded in getting a WSPR-15 decode this evening, my first 136 kHz. TA this season: 0100 -36 1.1 0.137610 0 DK7FC JN49 30 I've also got a screen grab in .bmp format that I need to shrink in si
Stefan....that would be on 136.000 dial, right? I'll be listening/watching for your signal. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
For the entire weekend I will be set up for receiving WSPR-15 on 136.000 kHz. dial should anyone be trying for some T/A. It's a long shot, but you never know.... 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR"
Stew Perry, W1BB, or mister top band, regularly operated 160M mobile. An inverted plastic bucket covered the large loading coil needed to match the whip, which had to be limited to a maximum height o
I thought I'd jump into the fray and try to run two instances of WSPR-X in my WinXP box. appears to be stable. Dial is 474.200 kHz. for WSPR-2 and WSPR-15. My antenna is a delta loop, 111 ft. per sid
Hello Markus....is there a chance you could increase the font size of your postings? They are an interesting but difficult read for me with my senior's eyesight....thanks! 73, J.B., VE3EAR
Hi Stefan....that is a really unique way to wind an RF transformer! Here's hoping it works as good as it looks! 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
VE3EAR will be running WSPR-X in the -2 mode for the weekend, using an un-tuned single turn active loop aimed at Europe/UK. I know it's likely a long shot, but you never know until you try! 73, J.B.,
No T/A decodes overnight, which really didn't surprise me being mid-summer, but I at least gave it a go! I did log four US stations on the active loop though. 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188
Johan....thanks for the link! What a treat it was to "walk" around the transmitter hall and see the mighty alternator. I was able to get myself directly into the middle of the four legs of a tower, b
You could always take a tip from H.G. Wells and attach a plate of Cavorite to the end of the antenna to hold it up! 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
I've used bentonite clay (cat litter) around my ground rods to improve conductivity between the rod and soil. Bentonite is hygroscopic and draws moisture from the surrounding ground, be it sandy, gra
