Re: Chasing ov
In Maui the Flamingo was not enough to suppress overloads from the 10 Km distant 5 KW 550 AM station. A friend designed a custom replacement which suppresses 550AM by more than 60 dB while passing

Greetings, y'all
I am now chasing ov events here. Have installed the Flamingo - am bandpass filter, but seemingly still have some ov events around daybreak. The culprit are likely to be traced to two

How to see WD 2.10's log of overload events
I have recently become aware of how little many Kiwi users appreciate the importance of filtering the RF feed to a Kiwi so as to minimize RF overload events.
Each Kiwi receive job run by WD logs those

No, those are not benign and your log file will grow unbounded.
Can you email your conf file and I'll log into it.

wsprdaemon.log, error message meaning
As far as I can determine wsprdaemon is running fine since I got it started a day or two ago. I have noticed that the log file is full of repeated error messages of this type:

Re: New install on Pi4 question
In WD 3.0 I will add checks of the receiver names to the config file validation function.
Thanks for the reports

Re: Radio "limbo"
With any kind of decent antenna and a reasonably quiet site, the Kiwi needs 10+ dB gain to get signals above 10 MHz to be stronger than the internal noise of the Kiwi RF amplifier.
Of course that 10

Rolf,
Currently I have one antenna for the KX4AZ/T WD site - a random wire dipole that is resonant at about 3.4 MHz, roughly 15 feet above ground level. I am still tweaking the matching/feedline

Some final comments on my "radio limbo" experiment. I've left it running since October 7th and will shut it down today (October 17th), in order to reclaim the step attenuator I've been using to
