Mark,
you will need WSPR2 to get good decodes of WD2XSH/xx
73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T
Quoting Mark <[email protected]>:
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<http://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
