I haven’t had the chance to type up my notes yet on my attempts at beaconing using WSPR, but I did leave my beacon running off and on for the last week. By monitoring signal reports which appear on WSPRnet.org, I learned quite a bit about how the propagation from my location varied depending on the time of the day. I’ll write up a bit more about that as time permits, but for right now, I’ll tease you with the following list of sites which gave me at least one signal report:
AB5N, K1JT, K3JV, K3SIW, K3UK, K6RBS, K8PJ, KA2UUP, KA5ULE, KC8JNV, KC8LTD, KC9DOA, KD5JGA, KE7HQY, KS7S, KV6O, N6NR, N7RYW, NJ0U, NN6RF, VE3FWF, VE6OG, VK2GR, VK7RO, W0AEW, W1BW, W1XP, W3CSW, W3PM, W6OUU, W7THY, W8LIW, W9HLY, WA4EWV, WA4KFZ, WA7KQS, WB0NPN, WB3ANQ, WB8ILI, WD6DBM, WD8INF, WT5N, ZL1WN
What might be more revealing is the following map (click to enlarge):
These were all accomplished with a power of 5 watts or less.
