You can always use one of the nearby WSPR Beacons to assess HF Propagation - ZS1WRC

WSPR Beacon ZD9SSS on Gough Island transmitting with 200 mW

If you want to compare the RX or TX performance of your antenna, I recommend everyone to switch WSJT-X from FT8 to WSPR for at least 24 hours and show what you have. This is a wellgood loop with 1 m diameter and a Spot distance of more than 6000 km during 24 hours.

Esta semana hemos probado, en el radioclub de la Universitat Politècnica de València, el TX WSPR 80to10 de Zachtek, con solo 200mW y una antena vertical Diamond CP-6 Diariamente la red WSPRnet ha procesado más de 13.000 spots de EA5RKP recibidos por estaciones de todo el mundo.Harry Zachrisson Intl.

Celebrating the 4th anniversary of the WSPR Beacon Project 🥳🎉🍾🥂 Well done Team!

Solar wind peaking at 756 km/s. HF Bands are in poor condition. grafana.gafner.net/goto/-SM8_x-NR…

Reminder: S-meter values and absolute noise floor are meaningless. The signal-to-noise ratio SNR is what counts. If you have good ears, 6 dB SNR will work for trained listeners on SSB voice.

Another comparison completed. Low-cost WSPR receiver by Harry Zachrisson with surprisingly good performance groups.io/g/wsprbeacon/t…

10m band DX following the regular propagation pattern is.gd/sCH85O

At this time of year, the 20m band usually lights up, but thanks to solar activity --> solar storms, we see much poorer DX condx is.gd/YVAw2l - mid June numbers are not encouraging.

Join the challenge wspr.rocks/topspotters/ if you think you have a great radio setup/antenna

I keep saying it but I could not go back now to a stand alone Rig. Separate RX/TX allows you to do so much. Had a nice blether tonight with CX5AAA in 🇺🇾. Both of us on wire antennas too. #airspy #SDR

WSPR Beacons - continuous HF propagation monitoring

Looking forward to October/November for peak 10m Band DX - will it beat last year's figures?

When this drops tonight I think it's going to upset a few people. youtu.be/Kb4AJCVpXFw?si…

The central WSPR database (Clickhouse DB) stores 10 billion historical WSPR spots and counting. There is no other amateur radio mode with the same large data storage capabilities for HF propagation analysis.

Thanks to the huge WSPR database, you can recognize an annually repeating DX propagation pattern. Solar cycle 25. Graphing Spots where distance is > 3000 km and TX Pwr = 200 mW. Querying the DB for 180 million spots in under 8 seconds!! Big Data at scale!
