 As a keen QRP FT8 operator on 10m, 8m and 6m this thought occurred to me. If you are copied with a plus value S/N (say at 1W, or even 5W) t...

When I go on FT8, I usually check PSKreporter maps to see if anyone has received me. Some people report spotting, but these sometimes do not...

Usually, I use PSKreporter to see who is spotting my 8m QRP FT8. A few moments ago (about 1315z) briefly a spot showed up of me from the US...

At times, PSKreporter seems not to work. Sometimes there is a great delay adding spots and at other times it seems unresponsive. I don't...

This is a resource I find really useful.  Although I use it mostly with FT8, it supports many modes.  My WSJT-X automatically uploads what I...

 One of the new features that is possible on the new Google Sites is embedding . Some browsers do not support this for fear of viruses or ma...

All morning nothing I received was being reported to PSKreporter maps. I restarted the PC and checked WSJT-X was working on 20m RX. Locally...

Most of my maps showing FT8 results are cut down copies of PSKreporter maps. It goes without saying that the copyright is theirs.

Since before breakfast I have been on 6m FT8 (RX and briefly TX) but nothing appears on PSKreporter. At first I suspected my internet conne...

PSKreporter is used often here to see what is being spotted on 6m FT8. Today I went on and there appears to be some changes to the maps. For...

Before I go on, I accept this could be my end and the internet connection playing up, but I am struggling to get a connection to PSK reporte...

At 2000z I went on 144.575MHz FM in the East Cambridgeshire net. At this time I noticed that I was not on 10m JT65 as the rig had turned of...

It seems that 144.165MHz is being adopted as the 2m JT65B  frequency in Europe. This morning, starting shortly, I shall be beaconing sendin...

This is a great resource and far far more than a PSK tool . It enables you to see where in the world you are getting on various bands and v...

Ever since I went on to JT65 on 10m or 6m I have used PSKreporter maps to see who I am spotting or who is spotting me. In the last hour whe...

As mentioned yesterday, not everyone uploads spots to PSKreporter . Last night, quite late, there was a TF (Iceland) calling CQ, but station...

It is interesting that so far this morning I have had 7 reports of my QRP JT65 6m signals from UK stations whereas when I tried the same mod...

I am still on JT65 on 6m this morning and have been spotted by lots of Gs as well as in Spain and France by Es. I call CQ and try to get int...

See https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html . This is a really useful resource when using modes like JT9-1 and JT65. Even if you get no repl...
