In preparing to upgrade the GPS RF distribution system at my AI6VN/KH6 Maui site next month, I have been staging the new system here in California and thought it might be of interest to others. I purc

In helping a new WD user install it on a new Raspberry Pi, I was reminded that due to a defective version of 'bash', WD doesn't run on the latest 'bullseye' Pi OS which is what is loaded by default on

All of the recent discussion about FST4W decoding and the need for an external GPSDO clock has me thinking about the easiest way to measure the "native" stability of the various SDRs I have at hand, i

Has anybody seen this new interesting equipment? https://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/sbitx/ Would be nice to have that working with WSPR and FST4(W) 40 watts on 80m and 40m, goes down to 20 watts on 1

I owe much thanks to John Seamons for his quick response to my suggestion of this new feature Since corrections to the Kiwi's clock which occur during a WSPR cycle would appear to be drift and/or inte

Thanks to support from Rick KK6PR, he confirmed that some minor enhancements I made to wav file validation fixed the 100% CPU problem his Thinkcentre was experiencing when there were no ssh sessions t

As I continue to "tune up" the decode filters on my 8088 page, some spots that are currently "false" will become "balloon" and not be an issue. I am manually validating spots that get trapped on the t

a big file... but here a list of the calls and their grids for 9 months... this is what wsprnet has in it arhive https://www.dropbox.com/s/6rwmmmg6fsry3cy/results?dl=0 This is kind of stuff we have to

I've made some progress on the false decodes situation. In addition to the refinement of the filters I use, I have changed the "err" column on my 8088 page to be "fls". That column is the number of Fa

I have just received that two sites running Ubuntu 20.04 on intel CPUs find that unless they maintain at least one ssh session, their system will fall into a state where the CPU is 100% busy and conne

Starting in WD 3.0.3.3, when ARCHIVE_WAV_FILES="yes" is defined in wsprdaemon.conf a currently running WD client will start to cache all wav files after they are decoded and queued for posting to wspr

Ranking system will resume operation later today. Normal data will start at 0000Z. There is some improvement is trapping false decodes but more to follow.

When do old ov events clear? I am showing some from the 6th of August still today the 11th. 73 Steve KD2OM

Some of you may have noticed that I stopped ranking on my http://jimlill.com:8088 page. I did it to allow easier/riskfree changes to the scripts that run that. With the proliferation of false decodes,

I am getting these errors: Found 8 new 'ERROR:' lines in /dev/shm/wsprdaemon/recording.d/VE/160/decoding_daemon.log among its 4470 new log lines. Thu 11 Aug 2022 09:31:37 UTC: decoding_daemon() ERROR:

I am debugging one of the final new capabilities of WD 3.0 and need a WD site which experiences frequent overload events. Until now WD has monitored the number of OV events by instructing kiwirecorder

I host a meeting which frequently runs to 19:00 UTC or longer where we discuss the use of WD, antennas and a range of associated (mostly technical) topics. PM if you are interested in joining the meet

I vaguely recall Phil, KA9Q, commenting on the effects of higher values. 500 is the default, I know some are running 10000. Do the odds of false decodes increase with those highers values? 73 Jim WA2Z

Yes, one Bodnar Mini will feed two Kiwis at the default (32dB) output level, making them more affordable for people with multiples. Or, at least, all seems to be working fine over the last 45 minutes

I took all the spots I had scraped, good and bad, during the period 8/7 0000Z-1300Z and ran them through my script that validates them against qrz.com. Attached is the output of the "bad" ones. There
