G3ZJO (79km) non-decoding 2m WSPR signals with lots of aircraft Doppler. |

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.
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.

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

Not relevant to this but I assume you are following this guy - http://ve7sl.blogspot.co.uk/ - as he is fereferncing you all the time.
Thanks Dave. Yes it is good to see the interest in nanowaves in British Columbia.
