4m is alive too!

First GM to 4X  one way     for  me the 2nd  time decoded by 4X1RF To be correct I was running 40W on 4M WSPR does not feature to set the power per band. What a good VHF propagation tool is this WSPR ! Needed a good setup, stable and accurate frequency  drifting < 5Hz /2minutes  and make sure to stay in the 200Hz window.  But that should not be a problem with a modern tranceiver. And most hams already have a PC connected to use oher digimodes RTTY BPSK FSK441 JT65 etc  so why not running  WSPR ? Why re-inventing the wheel by building a classical antique beacon  ?? WSPR is the ultimate propagation reporter  tool also for VHF that has been proven in VK and EU WG2XPN back on the air Published on 7 February 2015 by  Brian WA1ZMS The Experimental License for WG2XPN with one-way only beacon operations on 70.005 MHz with 3 kW ERPd from here in the US (QTH: FM07FM) has been renewed until May 1st of 2017. As suc...

WSPR propagation reporter 4m first time to 4X1RF

 4X1RF  4m WSPR  for the first time. After many many 6m reports Thanks Chris for starting listening 4m as the only outside EU 4m DX  WSPR ham. Much more must be possible  9K Gulf area  but not many hams or SWL seems to be interested. SWL WSPR reports are much! appreciated and  direct visible in the online map / database. I like to be QRV when at QRL this wspr mode is by far the best beacon mode and! reporter. It is the only tx/rx mode unattended it can be combined with CW ID to be human decodable. Strange that the 4m web site never mentioned  the existence of WSPR propagation reporter. The best propagation tool ever is not recognized. In stead using their existing radio in WSPR mode Some 4m hams are planning to build high power beacons.
