WSPR DIGITAL RESOURCESWHAT IS WSPR:WSPR is designed to measure and report on the propagation of weak radio signals.How it works:WSPR transmits a coded message, including the sender's callsign, location, and power, using a very slow data rate and a specific modulation technique called 4-FSK (Frequency Shift Keying).Transmissions:WSPR transmissions are typically very short and repeated at regular intervals.Reception and Reporting:WSPR signals are received by other amateur radio stations with SDR (Software Defined Radio) receivers, and the decoded data is automatically reported to a central database (WSPRnet).WSPRnet:WSPRnet provides a map of the WSPR signal reception and is used to visualize propagation paths.Applications:WSPR is used by ham radio operators to explore propagation characteristics, optimize antenna setups, and understand how radio waves travel over long distances.The links below maybe of help to you.
This example is from my own setup using a Yaesu 450D and a Sandpiper MD10 vertical Antenna. ![]() |
