WSPR (Weak Signal Propagation Reporter) is a mode in the WSJT-X software developed by Dr Joe Taylor K1JT. In this video I show what WSPR is, how to get started and setting up as an introduction for new beginners.

The beauty of this happens to be that you do not have to be an amateur radio operator to enjoy this incredible mode. Using a cheap scanner, or SDR, and the software, you can monitor contacts. Choose a station in your Maidenhead grid and you can see what they are receiving on the map! This is very curious and enjoyable, for just radio hobbyist, like myself, that do not hold a license. Using a piece of wire in the attic that I put all around the edge of the attic feeding into an obsolete Kenwood antenna tuner I bought at a rummage sale, I can monitor very interesting connections. Of course, I can not transmit. But that is because I am not licensed nor have a transmitter. I find this rather relaxing and interesting at the same time. It is almost addictive.

@michaeldunleavy2274 Год назад

Another great 'how to' step by step. Keep up the great work. One of the differences between you and others is you talk at a level everyone can understand, you literally guide ys through each step at a pace we can follow and mimic AND most importantly you don't skip steps and it works! What a concept! Imagine how much more informative you tube would be if others followed that basic principal? Thank you very much!

@lmychajluk 2 года назад

Thanks for the video! I tried WSPR to check the local RF propagation of my WIresX Node, but it seems like no one in my area (no one?) is listening for WSPR on 2M. Also, at 11:30, isn't that signal drifting higher (not lower)? It started (lower on the waterfall) at a lower frequency, and increased over time (as you move up the waterfall)?

@007reason Год назад

Is the 9700 the same as the 7300 with access to the 2meter bands. If so, makes sense to pay the extra for the 9700

@HumanTimeMachine Год назад

Could you please clarify at 16:56 you heard the call sign at 1725km distance and the same call sign heard you at 1753 km . My question is I noticed the grid is different. But how did the grid change 28 km distance in seconds?

@HamRadioDX Год назад

I have two transmitters running on 6m at the same time, at different locations (you can see the grid has changed between reports).

@donaldsmith3048 9 месяцев назад

If I set FT8 will that set WSPR or are they set different?

@HamRadioDX 9 месяцев назад

They are different. I use separate configurations for FT8 and WSPR in WSJT-X and then switch between the two when I want to change modes. That way it keeps my waterfall and all settings as I like them setup.

@@HamRadioDX on windows it appears at startup and every 7 days, clock drift shouldn't really be too much of an issue with any computer from the last 20 years. Personally, I use a 705 as a gps timesource on the Linux box it's connected to and that Linux laptop is the ntp server for my network.

@truckinguy92 2 года назад

I will never understand the fascination with all of this digital stuff on the HF bands. I would imagine it’s fun to dabble in but to be totally on it and nothing else, I just don’t know. Yes you make up to 1000’s of contacts. But what’s the fun in that when the computers do all of the work. There just seems to be absolutely no challenge to it at all. It’s like fishing in a barrel. It may be fun catching the first few, after that it’s just boring.

@crazyham Год назад

May I ask? When it reports dB SNR does it give any idea as to what the Noise floor was? I am terrified of all digi modes especially as I am totally PC phobic haha but so many people keep insisting I use WSPR. I prefer Reverse Beaconing whilst monitoring on web SDR's where I can easily see the actual noise floor & also get a sense of the RX stations antenna sensitivity across the Band(s) etc.

@HamRadioDX Год назад

No, just relative noise floor at that location, which can vary of course in each setup
