WSPR signals heard from E51EME

Published on 2009-08-12 by Mark VandeWettering

I still check my WSPR station logs each morning when I wake up. This morning I spotted the callsign E51EME, coming from grid square BG08. I’ve come to realize that many of these spots which include only a four element grid designator are spurious bad decodes, and I didn’t recognize the prefix (I’m not much of a DX-er). But still, it decoded multiple times:

A quick trip to QRZ.com verified that this was indeed a real call, Bob Sutton from Raratonga, in the Cook Islands. Very cool.
