S1 ... Its peaking past 15 db over the noise floor at
my QTH .. oddly no false decodes , but that's with
the ra6790 and m-delta-4 sound card , may be
low imd help's ..I dont see any drop in energy
to the band edge ?
looks like wspr has entered a new phase of nonsense
on 500 with stations transmitting all over the place
in and out of the generous 501/504 allocation.
way past the b/w of any tuned array to track
not that tuned rx arrays are desirable on 500...
may be some one could code a simple scan
facility to allow frequency hopping to keep track
but then there is the time element , would
end up like spread spectrum on prozac , could
try using ham-radio delux in scan mode
but better would qsy linked to clock
like beacon-see ?

Graham,
the QRM at the bottom end of the band does seemd too much harm to WSPR
signals, some nights ago I had good copies of WD2XSH despite ithis QRM.
The broadband transmission on 500kHz makes the noise level (at the bottom
end) rising to S4 (it is about S1 at the top end), PA0A is booming S9++.

Nothing compared to the 'Fog from Frog'
covering that end of the band ....?
wspr never was any use on 500 due to long tx times
and high local ground wave propagation , someone
should take a look at the 5 meg system and
take note , one short pulse , job done ..

Subject: LF: 500kHz WSPR
Some time ago some USA WSPR TX stations moved from 503.9kHz on 501.1kHz
to
avoid RX blocking of local WSPR RX station., This allowed both USA
stations (listening on 503.9) and European stations (listening on 501.1)
to copy WSPR DX without RX blocking by local TX stations .
But I noticed that in the following time more and more USA WSPR RX
stations moved down to 501.1kHz too. And as a result some (at least one)
European WSPR TX station moved down to 501.1kHz too (to be copied by the
USA WSPR RX stations that moved down) and is now blocking the Europeans
listening here.
So it seems that the RX blocking problem is back :-(
I guess this was not the goal ...
