Hi Bryan, It appears that your site has a lot of switching power supply RFI. I find it more helpful to look at the spectrum display, both zoomed in and 0-30 Mhz, than just the waterfall. Here is a

Hey Rob and Gwyn-- Yes, I'm trying to put a site in Inuvik, Canada. Everything is installed, but the noise floor at this WISP site is absolutely horrendous, see attached pic, so I'm not sure if this

I think that the only rx site which may encounter this is VY0ERC which is currently offline. Since this astral problem is encountered only by WD users with sunrise/sunset schedules and there is only

Hey Rob-- Corner case: The sun is always up or down. From watchdog_daemon.log: Thu 02 Jun 2022 05:05:01 UTC: watchdog_daemon() Starting in /home/wsprdaemon/wsprdaemon as pid 21929 Thu 02 Jun 2022

WD stores all of its temporary files in the ram disk /tmp/wsprdaemon. Only important files which you wouldn't want to be lost in an unexpected power off event (like the cache of spots waiting to

A Raspberry Pi runs from SD-Card. so It might be a good idea when /tmp/wsprdaemon is not on the same SD-Card. Is there an easy way to convince wsprdaemon to use an external USB-Stick or disk to store

Hey Rob-- Thanks for the tips on decreasing the "-o" flag if I run out of cycles. My current KF6ZEO spotting station is actually running on a Ubuntu 20.04 VM with 2 threads of a i3-5010U, so it's got

The memory leak is in the Bash version 5.1.4 included in bullseye. Gwyn has compiled Bash 5.1.16 on his bullseye Pi 3b and that fixes the problem. I have no insight into if/when they will update the

Rob mentions: in your case the much bigger problem is a memory leak in the Bash 5.1.4 included in bullseye. Gwyn G3ZIL identified that problem which leads the Pi to run out of memory in 1-5 days. I

First of all these are clones of the way outdated version RSP1, not the later RSP1a. And also the "designer" tells it is a simplified design. So I would not be to hopeful on performance. If it will

Perhaps I could tune the RP1/2 to a carrier generated by a GPSDO on the bench next to the RP and then use the measured tuning error to adjust the WSPR tuning frequency. That isn't nearly as good as

Hi Bruce, Thanks for that post. I have ordered one of those clones from ebay if only to compare it against my RP2. I had my RP2 working with WD 3.0 last year, and I will check to see if that code is

Hi Bryan, I see from http://wspr.rocks/livequeries/ that you are still running 3.0.2.3. You would benefit from updating your WD by running: git pull wd -z wd -a I have just installed Wd 3.0.2 at many

to date, nearly every misformed spot has been missing a grid, so that would be an easy filter I think On 5/26/22 15:00, Rob Robinett wrote:

I think G4ZFQ is the only site transmitting on both 60M bands during the same WSPR cycle. Perhaps he too doesn't know that 1/2 of such spots are being rejected by wsprnet.org -- Rob
