Hi John and thanks for the information. Several times lately I have given up on WSPR as I've been unable to log in to the site or my spots are not getting there. Only yesterday I gave up again and did some OPERA instead. The WSPR site is unfortunately necessary for the whole process to work and be useful. Delighted to hear your news about the new development and look forward to seeing it in operation.

Vy 73,

Subject: LF: WSPRnet problems

Good morning,

As most ops already know, the WSPRnet website has been down more than up over the last several days.  There do not appear to be any updates to the status posted any where, at least nothing current.  Its almost as if a "take it or leave it " attitude is now the status quo.  Its a free, volunteer-driven web site that I pay nothing for, so I can't argue.

An alternate data warehousing and rendering system and website is being developed and tested by a father/son team but its not ready yet.  Details will be forthcoming once appropriate. as well as instructions on the new data entry point.

In the mean time, if you find spots in your WSPR console RX window that are noteworthy, please be sure to post them or send me a direct email with the details.  I use this information as part of my daily 630-meter band report.  As you can imagine, the WSPRnet outage has complicated the data gathering and reporting.

Thanks for your assistance.  73!
