WD 3.0.4 checkins which optimize upload delay and post high SNR and Frequency resolution of spots
I have just checked in several changes to 3.04 which you can get with a 'git pull'. No config file changes are needed, just restart WD
I expect the change which uploads spots soon after all decodes are complete will be the most visible. WD now waits for new spot files to appear and the list of spots to be uploaded to stabilize after which it immediately initiates an upload. At KFS where there are 24 Xeon cores but many signals to decode, uploads now start about 40 seconds into the WSPR cycle rather than the previous 110 seconds. You can watch the upload deamon at work by executing 'wdln' I second change in this checkin is support for high resolution SNR (NN.N versus NN) and Frequency (.1 Hz versus 1 Hz) resolution in the spots uploaded to wsprnet and wsprdaemon. Unfortunately wsprnet discards (or rounds) the .1Hz information in the spots delivered to it by WD, but the full spot frequency is stored and is visible in wsprbeacon database queries. Since most Kiwis are accurate to .1Hz, this additional frequency resolution gives us real insight into doppler shifts introduced by movement of the ionosphere on the path between well stabilized transmitters and Wd receive sites. Today N6GN and KD2Om are both sending 20M FST4W-300 signals which benefit from that increased frequency resolution |

Those changes are significant enough that I have incremented the version number to 3.0.5
