Wed 13 Nov 2024 – 8-10pm – LRS Meeting at BHH – “WSPR – a tool to study propagation and aerial development” – Peter Dick GM4DTH:
“WSPR was created as a propagation studies tool by the use of multiple beacons in conjunction with globally-located receivers. It can also be used to compare and develop aerial systems. I will be exploring its use from evaluating HF paths/circuits to South America through to testing the Top Band DF fox aerial. With a little imagination it can be a valuable tool for the radio amateur and short wave listener”.
