Why not just upload the spots to the WSPR database?

> The WSPR sessions starred XXM (almost don't need a radio for that one) and 
> XIQ, with co-stars XKA, XJM, and XCT, plus special guest appearances by 
> WG2XPJ, VE7BDQ and WD2XSH/20.  (Is XSH/20 still N6LF, or has he moved and 
> that designator been re-assigned?)

> watching MP on 137.708 kHz for a few hours in case anybody unexpectedly 
> decided to join in, since we had relatively low static for a couple of 
> nights.  No such luck.

> Switched up to 630 m at 0322 last night and ended up staying there the

> I started out with unclipped audio, and got good copy of XXM and XIQ as

> first two were XKA (0408 and 0412) and XJM (0410 through 0724), then XPJ 
> (only one time at 0424).  The one time for WD2XSH/20 was the 0456 slot. 
> Later, BDQ showed up once (0540).  XCT first appeared in the 0904 slot and 
> made its final appearance in the 1004 slot.
> 
> XIQ's final decode was the 1204 slot, still about as strong as it had been. 
> According to the waterfall display, XXM apparently shut down not quite 
> halfway through the 1246 slot, and did not decode that time.  I still had an 
> S7 signal from him in daylight right up until then.
