Andy,LF


WSPR can be configured to automatically uplaod its received data to
a website at http://wsprnet.org

The database has had a revamp recently, and the "default" view doesn't
allow you to select the LF bands specifically. However the original
database display, and the selectable LF band is:

http://wsprnet.org/meptspots.php?mode=html&band=2190

I can't believe you haven't been watching this page avidly?! It shows
much more detail about who/where/when is receiving whom.

If you are also a receive station then ticking the "Upload spots" on
the WPSR software will automate the whole process for you, and allow
everyone to see what you're hearing too.


Cheers,

John
