Why do you not use CW to explore LF
propagation, this way you get an immediate real time report, no need for
database or computer aided devices. Your signal is always strong enought
with me for a CW QSO.
What is your problem with CW ?
I do not usually report BEACON acty it seems
pointless to me when the station could engage in a realtime QSO.

Dear Mal,
Personally I have found WSPR to be a
most useful tool when exploring LF propagation and station
improvements. The most valuable part has being able to go on the air and
almost instantly get feedback (via the WSPR database) about quite subtle
changes to my station. The change to my antenna a couple of days ago was an
example when the reports from M0BMU and G7NKS immediately told me that
a real step change improvement had been achieved.
Amateur radio is
about experiments, new challenges etc. WSPR has allowed me to try some simple,
but valuable, experiments these last few weeks on 500kHz and I am grateful for
Joe Taylor for having provided such a useful tool to do these with and for all
the open minded and kind amateurs here who have helped me on my
way.

WSPR is like a LAZY MAN using a WALKING
