Well the Admins. on WSPRnet.org approved a profile for the lowFER
WSPR beacon with the callsign " XR4TN " with KU4XR as the operator.
The profile has all the Technical, and Geographical details about
the beacon... This is a step in the right direction for a Part-15
beacon to be recognized by WSPRnet... My spots are still being
" Scrubbed " and I can only hope that maybe that will stop now...
If you try to receive the beacon, please upload your spots.
The beacon won't be on tonite until early in the morning, say 2am
Eastern... I plan to monitor 136 KHz tonite for G8IMR - Andy Talbot.
Last Fri. night I was seeing traces of his WSPR signal here in
Friendsville, TN. EM75xr... Couldn't get a decode, but the signal
was in the waterfall.. A path length of: 4064.5 mi (6541.1 km)..
Here's to hoping for a TA WSPR decode here.
A final note on this post to the US lowFERs.. Getting a WSPR, or
Digi signal of any kind on 1750 meters is fairly simple.. An HF
Tranceiver, run thru a Transverter, and into the traditional
Complimentary Pair PA will get you going.. Something to think about:
