[Lowfer] WSPR Weak Sig vs. QRP

[David L. Wilson]

I it would be interesting to do some testing where a stronger station and
weaker operated on nearby frequencies in WSPR mode.  Of course, generally
stronger/weaker are dependent on the transmitter/receiver spacing  but the
recent days show more than one of us have similar problems with the same
stations.  I was just about to turn of the AGC on my R9500 to see if that
helped but then one of the stations moved its transmit window eliminating
the problem before I could test that.   I would be interested myself in
studying what I can do in receiver adjusting to counter the problem.
