2m WSPR

As I knew G3ZJO and G0LRD were both active on 2m WSPR this morning, I ventured onto 144.492MHz USB dial on 2m. I was immediately rewarded with a spot of G3ZJO (79km). During the morning G0LRD (25km) has spotted me multiple times and I have spotted Eddie, G3ZJO, three times now. Interestingly, Eddies signal was accompanied by up to 6 aircraft Doppler shifted signals. His signal decoded far fewer times than he was visible.
G3ZJO (79km) non-decoding 2m WSPR signals with lots of aircraft Doppler.
In the UK and Europe 144.492MHz USB dial is the frequency of choice, NOT the frequency recommended.  I believe some in Europe have birdie problems on the recommended frequency.

    Hi Roger,

    You may wish to try receiving 2m WSPR via the SUWS WEB SDR

    http://websdr.suws.org.uk/

    You may have to loop your soundcard audio (ahrdware or software)to do this, but it does work.

    Regards,

    Opps forgot the WEB SDR is approx +10KHz high of the actual frequency on 2m at the moment.

    This will be fixed.

    Thanks Dave. Yes it is good to see the interest in nanowaves in British Columbia.
