[Lowfer] WSPR decodes so far

[n3cxv at n3cxv.com]

John,
 I agree. Reports all seem down on 15.
 I put WSJT-X up to listen to WSPR2 band.
 It will be intermittent with my WSPR-15 transmissions. 
 I have great faith in WSJT-X.
 Let's see what happens.
 Just looked over and I see you.
 Too late for decode.
 Care.

All,

Other than the stability issues reported with WSPR-X (no uploads, blank
waterfall, lockups), I'm getting suspicious about its weak-signal
performance. My reports on SNR for Bill's (WH2XRR) signal on WSPR15 are
curiously lower than I usually see when he's running WSPR-2. For that, I
decode with WSPR2 or WSPR4, not WSPR-X. They seem to be off by almost 6
dB, and that's close to the expected WSPR-15 weak-signal advantage.
Something doesn't seem right!

After the current 1830-1845Z segment finishes for WD2XES, I'm going to
switch over to WSPR-2 on 137.430 kHz for the rest of the afternoon, with
a 50% duty cycle.

It might be interesting if some of you could compare what you've been
getting with my WSPR-15 signal with the upcoming WSPR-2 signal.
