Yet again, the afternoon appeared very quiet on WSPR until I realised my main shack PC had decided to close the WSPR program yet again. I have only just turned it back on again and am seeing W4 and PY in the logs. I thought it very odd not to be seeing any USA transatlantic reports: it helps if the program is actually running!
The turning off seems to be a bi-product of Windows 8.1 as this never occurred with my old XP machine. It is not a major issue.
Station seen since restarting the software:

Windows 8.1 seems to do a good job generally Steve. I am sure a lot of my issues are a lack of familiarity.

ReplyDeleteNope! Sorry Roger, its got lots of incompatabilty problems with older programs and hardware. So I went for a Dualboot system with Unbuntu Linux and Windows 7 32 bit.. I now have the best of all worlds, but I still keep an XP system for Ham stuff too...
