Subject: LF: WD2XSH/17 decoded in
GM
Hi All,
3 instances of decodes of WD2XSH
on 503.890KHz last night between 01:00 and 03:00z all with bad message
tagged, and no /17 appended
These of course did not upload, sigs were 2 off
-28 dB and 1 off -27dB
Several other corrupted calls reported on the
same frequency.
I was using WSPR1.01, now upgraded to WSPR2
r1714. The change log does not suggest that 1.01 does not handle the suffixes
correctly, but I am hoping that the upgrade will improve things
Interestingly the RX noise level indicator
says -30dB all the time, irrespective of the audio level settings, though it
displays and decodes well enough.
Soundcard setup is non-standard here, RX is
softrock, processed by Speclab (which also provides the grabber see www.dc2light.co.uk for a link) Audio
Output from Speclab is filtered, frequency shifted and then passed to the WSPR
software.
Pleased to copy the WD2XSH/17 on the tiny
mag loop antenna, which is aligned roughly E-W and therfore has a null towards
the USA
Hopefully future spots will reach the
database.
Hope all have a happy and prosperous
2010
