WSPR update…

I hadn’t checked the totals in a while, so I thought I’d give it a try. I’ve now had WSPR spots from 37 out of the 50 states, and such far away locations as Japan, Australia, New Zealand, a single spot from Belgium, several from Italy, and yes, Wake Island! VK6DI is the most distant listener thusfar.

More spots from my own grabber…

Earlier this afternoon, I was getting not only the usual suspects, but also VE1VDM and W1BW. Glad to see the flying W back again…

It looks like my rig is tuning a bit high: Vern was supposed to be down around 10.140005, but I have him below 10.140 (the dashed line). I’m probably tuning about 15 hz high.

Spotting from NUT….

That’s Northern Utah. Mark, KU7Z noted lots of activity stateside, and here’s his screengrab:

I’m getting into Seattle pretty well all day too. Some odd propagation on 30m today: I saw VK2ZAY on W8LIW’s grabber around 20:00UTC, which I think is too early to be gray line. Still no European spots for me.

Today’s NOAA-19 pass….

Nice pass today over the middle of the U.S. Got it recorded and transferred, and my wife even took some pictures and a short video of me doing it. I’ll link that in later, but for now, check out the weather!

Addendum: Here’s me, recording the very audio that you see turned into a picture above. The high pitched whine you hear is actually the signal from the satellite, not a defect in the recording itself.
