Hi All -
I have recently purchased a WSPR transmitter that I will be putting on 160
meters soon. It will be running 200 mw (at least for now) and be connected
to my TX antenna most of the time.
I know many of you are more experienced at using this "mode" than I am -
but wanted to help raise awareness of the benefits of having WSPR beacons
out there (hope that isn't a non-PC word to associate with them).
There is a database of reception reports that can be accessed to see what
openings are created.
I know a lot of people rely on FT8 for this purpose, but this unattended
method of monitoring conditions has value as well.
Look for K7RAT coming soon to 1836.6 kHz on the even minutes.
