[Lowfer] WSPR-X

[Garry]

Mike et al,

I think WSPR-X15 works fine here on all my XP 32 bit and Win7 64 bit 
PCs. However, that's hardly reassurance that it should and will work 
elsewhere. That seems to be the lot for Windows users - things are 
preposterously unrepeatable. Never had such problems with Linux but have 
never tried Apple. I did learn it was best to install on my C: drive 
directly rather than in a WSPR subfolder when using Win7. I gave up on 
uploads - I do them manually as I see fit.

I have noticed big delays submitting those uploads, updating the spot 
page, and updating the map. I see a note From Merv, WH2XCR similarly 
complaining about server overload. Some of that likely comes from users 
who fail to regularly clear their ALL_WSPR.TXT files. I do that daily, 
first saving the current contents to a dated folder (not absolutely 
necessary since pretty far back, but not necessarily infinitely far 
back, you can regenerate your data on the spot page if you submit it), 
and then deleting the file. The WSPR software will make another next 
time you run it if needed. The location depends on how you installed the 
program and what OS version you're using. If necessary, it shouldn't be 
hard to locate by searching your hard drive.
