Re: LF: WSPR 502.400 Dial frequency ?

[Andy Talbot <andy.g4jnt@googlemail.com>]

Some spectrum plots of the WSPR signal can be seen at

   http://www.g4jnt.com/wspr-spectra/

These were generated at 1500Hz using WSPR.EXE, directly converted to
RF and fed via an attenuator to an SDR-IQ for measuring and displaying
the spectrum.

If we use the widely accepted -40dBc criteria for adjacent channel
spurii, then it is clear the transmission can be centred at up to 10Hz
below the upper band edge.
