Can you WSPR? This video is the fourth in a series about propagation beacons. The Weak Signal Propagation Reporter is a system designed by Joe Taylor, K1JT, a Nobel laureate, to study HF propagation. You can participate both by listening and transmitting. Thank you for watching my videos! My channel, "Ham Radio Answers," is here to help you become an active, on-the-air amateur radio operator! I am unique in that I provide the only set of RU-vid training videos that accompany the ARRL license manuals, section for section. I try hard to answer every Ask Dave question individually if I can.
Credits: Music (Sour Tennessee Red) courtesy RU-vid Audio Library: ru-vid.com.... I often use graphics from openclipart.org -- a great source! I also frequently use photos and videos from www.nasa.gov.
I'm often asked what equipment I use to create the videos. The devices include the Panasonic HDC-TM90 video camera, Tascam DR-05 audio recorder, Audio-Technica ATR-3350 lapel microphone, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W560 digital camera, the Kodak Zi-8 video camera, my iPhone 5S, and Pentax K100D DSLR. Software used: CyberLink PowerDirector 13 on a Toshiba S55-A5294, also using Smoothdraw 4.0.5.0, FastStone Image Viewer 5.3, FastStone Capture 8.0, Audacity 2.1.1., and LibreOffice 5.0.4.2.

Great video, David. You did your homework & I thank you! 73

@andymans8482 3 года назад

Hi Dave. Thanks for an excellent explanation of WSPR. Your clear explanations are a gift to the ham community and helped me to set up my WSPR system to compare my magnetic loop antennas. You've got me hooked! 73s Andy F4HCB

@Drekkag 8 лет назад

another awsome video full of knowledge. keep em coming Dave. 73s, ad0am

You the Man Dave! Thanks 👍

@MarioVe2 6 лет назад

Thanks Dave, With the help of your on WSPR vedio, I was able to be up and running in less that 10 min, a very interesting Application ... and now i know what it is, and I have experience :)

@indridcold8433 8 месяцев назад

The beauty of this is that one does not have to be an amateur radio operator to monitor the signal exchanges and transmission / reception paths. I find this very curious. I can enter an amateur radio call sign and I can see where it has had a reception report. I just choose a callsign very close to where I live and see where the signal goes! I am not an amateur radio operator. Thus, I can not adjust a signal that a transceiver would produce at my house because there is no transceiver at my house. But I can select different stations close to my home qth and see how far signals go.

That was a brilliant video. So helpful. Thx !! M7MSR

@pathdoc 6 лет назад

Great video! For computer timekeeping, I like to use Dimension 4. It runs in the background and automatically sets your clock at intervals you specify. You never have to reset it manually again.

@davecasler 6 лет назад

Yes, I use it also.

@SuburbanDon 4 года назад

Nice job.

@63snampook 7 лет назад

Very well explained, that's what I wanted to know about WSPR. 73 de PD0RK

@TimRichardson_GrowthPath 3 года назад

I hope Mr Casler is a teacher, this skill in explaining should be benefiting lots of people.

@nateo200 5 лет назад

HF Propagation has got to be one of the most fascinating things I've ever looked at. Crazy to see some of the paths!

@davecasler 5 лет назад

Yep!

@HamRadioDX 5 лет назад

6 meter propagation is also interesting, especially during E season

@GaryWaldronUK 3 года назад

Fantastic video. Thank you. G1MXD

@DerekMurawsky 8 месяцев назад

I feel like there should be a linux / raspberry pi node configuration for this with an inexpensive SDR so that anyone could set one of these up in a minute.

@batfalcononyoutube 3 года назад

Well, that was a VERY informative video! Thanks for the help. By the way, is there a way to keep a log file of certain period of time, locally, for future reference? Thanks again, de SV1SLB

@MichaelLloyd 8 лет назад

I've got a couple of Hans Summers QRP Labs WSPR beacons. They do surprisingly well at 250mW. Great video. 73 NE5U Mike

@davecasler 8 лет назад

Thanks for alerting me to the Hans Summers beacons. Cool stuff!

@MichaelLloyd 8 лет назад

They are fun kits to build and they work very well. I hope you give one a try. The GPS that he supplies is amazing. I've got a couple of them running right now and they work extremely well inside the house. The lock on very quickly,

@user-sw7oh9oy6f 3 года назад

Hi Dave .. Thanks for sharing ~ Based on the results shown By WSPR , have you ever used the numbers shown to calculate and improve a transmitting Antenna? Do you know of any examples as I am looking for anything to learn from - cheers

@Py1axRADIOAMADORISMOSEMSTRESS 2 года назад

I have rig with c4fm but never have chance to use can you give me a light to see what i have to do tks by the way great video from wspr i will try as well tks dave im subscrible in tmyou channel long time i have one but is i Portugues to give inf for brasilian oeople drinks

@user-sw7oh9oy6f 3 года назад

@8:10 you say the received signal strength is determined by the software ! Is it possible to show an example please

@mikedevita5558 3 года назад

How is connection made for rx and TX from computer to radio?

@stanholmes4293 3 года назад

Hi David, Is wsprnet still in operation as I have requested to join but have not received approval and emails to wsprnet get bounced back.

@RobertMacCready 2 года назад

Might want to change the Windows 10 setting the time. I tried following your directions and things change in 6 years. I did find a way to "synchronize" the time but that's about it. Will this work?

@rgbking488 Год назад

It's difficult to go back and edit the videos you post to YT fro 6yrs ago. I know what you mean though. It messes with the analytics of your engagement, not that Dave is tracking all of that. Good to know though on your comment - I will be setting this up in a few weeks, thanks.

@bruceweight7319 4 года назад

Hi David: had a question for you to explore about the GPS data that; for instance that the OLG-1 GPS unit sends to the OCX and then is sent on from the transmitter to the WSPR system. How is it done? Can I use a neo-6m/7m gps module to do the same thing as the OLG-1 providing it sends out the standard NEMA serial data stream. Question is; has Hans had the GPS modules in his OLG-1 kit pretty programmed to send a specific set for the time and maidenhead location?

@davecasler 4 года назад

I think it uses standard NEMA messages. You'd have to check with Hans.

@bernasca1965 7 лет назад

Hi Dave, I really appreciate your videos. About WSPR and WSJT-X recommended SW, is there any JT65 SW for tablets (android) ? I´ve just found JT65android from C.H. Bos on Google play Store. Thanks, Augusto, LU3AFB.

@davecasler 7 лет назад

I'm not aware of any, but that's because I've always used my laptop for JT65. The key is how the device sends and receives audio signals and how the transceiver is keyed. If you do find something that works, please post here as I'd like to take a look at it. 73, Dave

@OH8STN 7 лет назад

Augusto Bernasconi there is JT65 android app. it's new, but it's working! check Google play store. it's free :)

@bernasca1965 7 лет назад

thanks.

@donaldsmith3048 Год назад

My Windows 10 doesn't come up with that menu!

@joeburch2078 5 лет назад

Great job - very interesting software. But please tell me - how long does it get for one to be approved by the 'administrators'? - Joe - K3JLS

@davecasler 5 лет назад

I presume you're asking about access to the forum. It shouldn't take more than a few days.

@kermitfrog1897 5 лет назад

What forum ?

@verystupidhandle 2 года назад

Wow i'll stick with old school I think lol

@steadfast666 7 лет назад

What do you think on WSPRlite?

@davecasler 7 лет назад

I hadn't heard of it until you mentioned it. I looked it up on the Internet and it looks interesting. I think before I use that, I want to build a more "standard" WSPR kit that is on all the time. This is a future project, but not on my immediate horizon. Thanks for bringing up the idea--I'll keep looking for info.

@steadfast666 7 лет назад

I just ordered one unit from sotabeams :-) vy 73 de HB3YVZ

@daveb5041 6 лет назад

3:14 Are the signal paths curved because of the roundness of the earth and if that map was on a globe all those lines would be straight? The curve to australia seems too far out unless thats so you can see them and not just an accurate curvature map. (Please don't start with flat earth bs that mucks up every good science video)

@eddaley2804 5 лет назад

Yup. If you stretch a string over a globe between ay 2 points, you will see the shortest distance between them...a great circle. Generally, these are the same paths that we follow when we fly between cities.
