- A viewer asked me to demo how to use WSPRnet. I decided to cover three different sites for mapping and looking at WSPR spots.

Hi Kevin. THANK YOU for this excellent video. While I learned the "ropes" the hard way.... i found watching this very informative and useful. Video quality and fade/in out of camera angles and shots professionally done... MY SINCERE COMPLIMENTS !
It makes watching your videos a real pleasure.
I love whisper... have hit USA polar base in McMurdo (antartica) on 200 milliwatts with a 130 ft bit of endfed wire just TEN feet above ground !!! Just could not believe it. Hawaiii.. Japan... VK Land... all on 200 milliwatts... incredible.
Thanks again Kevin... your effort in putting this together is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

Very useful content, specially the other two sites for WSPR tracking! Due to Your video I did some WSPR RX/TX and the sites You recommended turned out very useful. Grate stuff Kelvin!
Hi Kevin, Thank you for your informative videos. Even tough I do not use WSPR, the sites you mentioned in your videos will be great help to see the propagation.

Thank You! You made me want to set it up on my system have it on most of the time logging everything. 73 W4DES
Thanks, as a new wspr user, this is great.
Thanks for the video Kevin. I don't use WSPR, but may try it now you explained it so simply for us. Cheers 73's M6APJ
Yes sir, you have done it again. Good info. I did not know about the vk7jj site. will give it a try. I have been transmitting a beacon on multiple bands using the Zachtek desktop transmitter. The antenna is a weathered 240 loop that needs work soon. Also, have been comparing a EFHW antenna with a WSPRlite on 20 to compare the two antennas. Big wire loop hands down. I also have the Zachtek WSPR receiver for 20 meters for receive. What a great time to be a ham. 73. Thank you for the videos. wb0wqs .
Kevin; Thank you for the information, this will be a big help for me and other hams! Randy. California.
Excellent ! Was not aware of the other sites.
Lots of great info about WSPR. Anyone interested in propagation should find these sites of great value. 73
Very informative video Kevin thank you 73's G4POT
Kevin I tried out a simple solution. when you want to send a designator for a vertical go to Setup and in your call place /V or /EFLW /Beam etc.Checking out transmissions and results now.
Very helpful like are your videos thanks for doing them :)
Very nice Kevin!
Just as a reminder, next Sat., Apr. 20 is the OVARC event at the Titan missile site near Tucson. It starts @8am.
Hope to see ya there.

I'm not going to make it. I still haven't recovered from the unexpected expenses of January. Can't afford the gas for the trip there and back to where I'm going to park near Kingman.
Living on $11k / yr approx. is kind of tough.
@@loughkb So sorry to hear that... Oh well, perhaps next year.
Actually, if you just drive in the area, anyone can pull up & plug in.
Enjoy Kingman.

Hi Kevin,
When I installed the terminated inverted u antenna, I ran wspr tests for a entire day on 160 80 40 20 at 5W. That was the lowest output from my FT450 and was surprised that I was heard by VK3YE Peter Parker on 160. 73 WB3BJU
If that happens often enough, you can look at the time of the spot and have a good idea of what time of the day is best to try for DX to that location.
WSPR is handy in many ways.
@@loughkb Looking at your Callsigns listings on Wspr site under the text list it's really easy to work out 10Minute reports because the time is listed which I am guessing is pretty accurate. So you could use that to see antenna swap differences..Great video and your Looking very Healthy with the sun tanned face..I think life on the road agrees with you Kev.
Yo Kevin!:
Another GREAT video! I am slightly opposed to wspr as it's one way, is it a qso? I want to. Communicate! : ) although I easily see it's propagation facilities! Great video just the same. I wish there was a wap method for real low power.. : ).

(qso method that is : )

AWESOME! 😍😍

Is it showing stations you heard hear you or both?
Is both 'And' or 'Or' ? Do you understand my question?
I'm sort of curious about something because wsprnet.org showed one of the reporting spots for my signal was in Australia. However, when I checked another website for the same time period, it did not show that spot from Australia. Do you know why that might be?
Great information. Thanks Kevin. 73 VK4YST
Greetings ! Badda-boom !
Hi Kevin, at 19:22, just to point out, you can click your call, and it displays a list of "heard" and "hearing" stations.
Thanks for the video. de KE0RFZ.
Thanks for the video! KJ7EVA
I like WSPR Rocks !
If you’re an iPhone or iPad user there’s an app called WSPR Watch ... i assume its available for android too. Very handy in that you can do similar functions to the VK5JJ site but it also generates the tones so cane send using your phone ... incase you don’t have a computer with with you /p

Hi Kevin ~ can the received signal strength results be used to improve your Antenna configuration ~ if so how?
Probably not. Propagation is a huge factor that often changes minute to minute. That would skew your data.
Very interesting.... do any stations or sites provide what antenna(s) and oreintation... they (the remote location) are using??? Tnx really enjoy your videos ... WB0ZLX
Not that I'm aware of. Thanks for watching!
Hi Kevin
Is there anyway you can show how encode data into your wspr signal that indentifies what antennas you are using? It would make antenna comparison much simpler. Like maybe put my call as W3BUW/EFLW or W3BUW/V for vertical. I'll have to try that.
The data format is not flexible and I think there's a limit to the number of characters for the call sign. I can't think of an easy way to do it. And you'd really need wide spread adoption for it to be useful anyway.
But I see the potential utility in the idea.
@@loughkb Hi Kevin, I did change my callsign in the software (WSJTX) by putting a /V or /E /B for whatever type of antenna I'm running and it will show up that way in the WSPRNet reporter web site!
Very good video, thank you! 73 PA5BAS
Please explain what is the meaning of wspr.thank you
Weak Signal Propagation Reporter.
Another great video, thanks. DE WA1KLI
All the data needs to be normalized by the number of stations participating.
