[K4RY] February Meeting W4HOD

[Cheryl Whitlock]

Hello all,

Heart of Dixie ARS, W4HOD will have a special program for the February
meeting.  Richard Robinson (AI4RY) 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 a piece of 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.
