Re: LF: Re: Incomplete uploads on WSPR database

Stefan & All:  If you use wsprx, try limiting the size of your ALL_WSPR txt file. W1VD pointed this out as the file contains a record of all of your captures. Rename the file as ALL_WSPR_OLD and then edit the ALL_WSPR file to a few weeks of data. My ALL_WSPR file had grown to 6.5MB which is a sizeable upload. I try to keep my ALL_WSPR file to under 250KB.

R Chris, thanks for the feedback.

Well that problem does exist just since a few months. Good to know that it is not local.
Maybe it's due to the permanantly rising usage of the software / increasing number of uploaded spots and requested website update? See the plot "stations participating per day" at http://wsprnet.org/drupal/wsprnet/stats
Maybe they need a new faster server hardware...

I frequently get the same problem Stefan. The program eventually gives up trying to send the spots to the website and you get a 'timed out' message in the shell. Just before Christmas it was loading up less than half the spots I was getting, so turned it off, couldn't see the point if the reports weren't being sent!!

Vy 73 es HNY to All,

Chris, G4AYT.

Subject: LF: Incomplete uploads on WSPR database

Hi all,

For a few times i see now that my local WSPR decodes are not completely uploaded to the database. Furthermore it often takes very long (> 15 seconds) until the WSPR map or database site is loaded.

For example, this was uploaded from my 3 stations on 16:58 UTC:

2016-01-02 16:58	HB9ASB	0.475712	+3	0	JN36nu	100	DK7FC/NE	JN49ik	310	22
2016-01-02 16:58	DL2WB	0.475777	-15	0	JN39qh	0.2	DK7FC/NW	JN49ik	98	81

However the actual decodes were:

DK7FC/NW:
1658 -6 5.7 0.475712 0 HB9ASB JN36 50

1658 6 -1.0 0.475754 0 DH5RAE JN68 17

1658 -15 -1.4 0.475777 0 DL2WB JN39 23

DK7FC/NE:
1658 3 6.0 0.475712 0 HB9ASB JN36 50

1658 8 -0.6 0.475754 0 DH5RAE JN68 17

DK7FC:
1658 -7 6.4 0.475714 0 HB9ASB JN36 50

1658 4 -0.2 0.475757 0 DH5RAE JN68 17

So 2 decodes are displayed, 7 were made. What happened to the other 5? I can see in other time slots that the WSPR instance did not hang up, i.e. there are uploads for other decodes. But randamly some are lost regularly.

Do some of you observe similar behaviour of the software? Is the problem on my side or does the database somehow have problems during the last months?
