[K4RY] W4HOD Italian Supper and Special Meeting in February

[Cheryl Whitlock]

Heart of Dixie ARS, W4HOD will have a special program for the February
meeting.  Richard Robinson (AI4RY), a friend of Dick  Jaeger, K4IQJ, will be
presenting a program on Whisper-Mode (WSPR).

What is WSPR? (The following is from www.g4ilo.com)

WSPR stands for Weak Signal Propagation Reporter, but it's pronounced
"Whisper" - quite an appropriate name as it is all about sending and
receiving signals that are barely audible.

WSPR is a software application written by Joe Taylor, K1JT, a Nobel
Prize-winning Princeton physicist. It was first released in April 2008. It
uses a transmission mode called MEPT-JT. The "JT" stands for Joe Taylor,
while MEPT stands for Manned Experimental Propagation Transmitter.

WSPR is software that enables you to participate in a world-wide network of
low power propagation beacons. It enables your radio transceiver to transmit
beacon signals, and to receive beacon signals from similarly-equipped
stations in the same amateur band. Because participating stations usually
upload spots that they receive in real time to a web server, you can find
out within seconds of the end of each transmission exactly where and how
strongly it was received, and even view the propagation paths on a map.
