First of all, congratulations to Garry and Stefan!
I'm really glad to see that happen.
Alex, I have also been pondering some kind of
central archive of opds detections. My idea was to leave everything as is
for the receivers, ie they can upload their detections to Dropbox
or their own FTP site, and announce these if they want
to. Then someone (me?) would automatically
collect the text files from the known sites, using httpget or
similar. On each file, some script would append receiver
callsigns and speed, and cut off entries older than say 24 h. Then
merge all files to one, sort lines by timestamps, and upload
the joined results. However I won't be able to create a
semi-professional searchable database like WSPR or PSKreporter.
Birth of opds? Well
opds is not a mode in itself, so I'd better pass the question
regarding Opera's birthday on to Graham G0NBD ;-) For me, the
decisive event was the successful correlation detection of the
WD2XES Opera-32 signal on Aug 27 2012. VO1NA and UA4WPF followed a few days
later. Opds "as is" probably became a usable tool only in March 2013, when
the project took a big step ahead during a fruitful
collaboration with Chris 4X1RF.

Hi Alex, Markus, LF,
I already asked Garry
if it is possible for him to install a dropbox and OPDS results file like the
others but he doesn't like the idea, somehow.
Markus, i agree with Alex,
it would be helpful and more comfortable to see the callsign of the RX station
and maybe both locators in the detection row, like in WSPR.

Stefan,
you sent this msg to 1540 (I received msg from
blacksheep in 1544)
I sent my "Best..." to 1542 and received msg in
1551 without an absolutely Best report by Garry K3SIW
;-(
CONGRATS Garry and Stefan !
Marcus,
maybe create a common
OPDS database (URL) in this format:
2013-12-07 05:10 DK7FC 7041km
137572.914Hz 3mHz -42.2dBOp 65% 17.3dB K3SIW 32
+ manual uploading to this URL and
++(?)
What's the date of birth of the
OPDS?

Hi all,
There must have
been good condx last night. Apart from the usual ufb
reception by
W1VD i got OPDS reports from K3SIW, email attached. This
may be
interesting for DF2JP too!
I also saw a trace at YV7MAE on the right
frequency but no OPDS decode
(yet! :-) ).
