Thanks for the info.

It appears that WSPR is a victim of it's own success and I'm keen to make clear that it's in no way a complaint against a wonderful free service!

I guess WSPRnet has to deal with what is effectively a denial of service attack all day and night, being bombarded with upload requests from thousands of unattended transmitters and download requests from a similar number of observers - just look at the stats!

Please pass on our thanks to those who maintain it.

For what its worth, the "alternative" WSPR reporting option that was mentioned last Sunday is on line and functional as development is on going. The address is HAMWSPR.com and is in use by several experimental stations in the US and a few stations in Europe during the overnight periods. The process does not replace WSPRnet, instead WSPR data is redirected to the alternative site via a networking change at the WSPR operator's PC. The data is forwarded on to WSPRnet when it is working but data is rendered almost immediately on the HAMWSPR site. The raw data renporting process on HAMWSPR is a little different at the moment compared to WSPRnet but it seems to work well.

While the redirect procedure and address is no secret, I have sent a message to the developer to see if he is prepared to release that information in public before I mention it here.

As I said before, I am not the point man for this project, only a user.

Hello DAVE,

Sunday, January 31, 2016

Thanks Dave, just found the OPERA map site is knackered, too. I'll
open a few tinnies I think and turn the TX off for now :) Been working
yesterday and today, can't be battling WSPR as well right now, I need
de-stressing.


Best regards,
