Here's a song about the WSPR mode written by the online AI chat bot at openai.com. All I asked it to do was "write a song about the magic of WSPR mode" Now all we need are the notes and chords to go w

This week I plan to use this system to probe the RF distribution system at KFS to find out where the NW antenna signal is losing 20+ dB of RF signal strength. But more generally ,this setup is useful

Hi Bryan, These charts compare 20M spot frequencies of your Bodnar + Kiwi_0 with the same spots recorded by the Bodnar-driver KFS Omni_C Bodnar + Kiwi, and with the internal GPS-aided KFS Omni_A Kiwi.

Hi guys. Simplified advanced text can now be included in http://wspr.rocks/wdprop/ which allows visualising a single band such as 10m to get a better idea of past and current propagation trends. For a

My remote spotter site in MI went offline yesterday, the day after I departed the area, after months of no major glitches - of course! I am also no longer able to access the Pi4 via ssh or VNC. The AD

As we further refine the use of the Kiwi, at KFS I have been comparing frequencies and spreading reported by Bodnar-fed Kiwis with frequencies reported by standard GPS-aided Kiwis at KFS and nearby WD

While studying the performance of WD on the sites to which I have remote access, I have noticed that WD Pi4 site, especially those which only 1 GB or 2 GB of RAM, seem to use swap space which is gener

Due to a failing GPS subsystem of my KiwiSDR I was looking at some solutions. But also checking the reception and decoding of FST4W signals. I found the following over the last 10 days. This includes

*WD status commands enhanced and with new wd-help command* if you 'git pull', restart WD, and then execute 'source ~/wsprdaemon/.wd_bash_aliases' you will gain access to these new features and command

I am recording many decodes of Q3QQQ. Might this be a decode error? Or is this a no-license operator? John

(I've already posted this query at the Ham-Antennas group, but it occurs to me that many in this group have tackled the same "problem") I have a remote receive only HF site with three antennas and thr

While it appears this patch works, by making it the default some users who don't need it are forced to install ssh and configure it. Since the majority of users don't need this patch, I have just chec

I see these spots in my Grafana overview. Due to their contents they could easily be suppressed before being uploaded. Like not having a locator field for the transmitter. time band (m) tx_sign tx_loc

Earlier this year I set up wsprdaemon under Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS running on an Intel NUC, receiving WSPR spots from a KiwiSDR. It ran normally for several months, but in the summer I needed to take it d

I am trying to build a backup wsprdaemon server on a Pi4 with Buster OS. I have done the normal stuff with ID pi including changing the password. I have done adduser wsprdaemon and added to sudo group

Hi, I recently setup v3.0.4 on a Raspberry pi4, 2GB to use with my Kiwi. For the last week it has run well on 7 bands. I decided to add some FST4W which was accepted and -s showed G4ZFQ_1,2200,W2:F5:F

Thanks to a suggestion from Bret KG7RDR, I learned that our 100% CPU bug is probably a symptom seen by many Linux systems since an update of Debian/Ubunut/RaspianOS last summer. Bret said IT departmen

In yesterday's SD call Bret suggested that for those experiencing this WD problem it may be related to what seems to be a related problem experienced by many LInux programs since a Linux OS upgrade la

At 1040UTC I switched the transmitter to the Flex 6600M. It is GPS locked. I set the power level to the same as the RFZero board as close as I could. Hopefully since it cost nearly 100 times as much a

With the recent upgrades of WD (thank you Rob) it is clear that the Kiwi will be more accurate/stable with more GPS locks. This means that better reception is needed, at least so is the case at my sit
