So WSPR is rather incredible. One transmission at 500mW heard at 52 different locations. The furthest more than 7000km away.

The second transmission made it 16000km!

@N9DRB whaaa!! so cool! what band (or is it always on a certain fixed freq)?
Show threadDevin (N9DRB)Aug 6, 2022
@amatecha This was on 40m, but WSPR can be used on most bands, with a certain frequency on each. http://www.wsprnet.org/drupal/

@N9DRB ooohh right, makes sense! similar to other digital modes, I guess. cool… definitely gotta try it out… first step, figuring out how to connect a computer to my radio! I guess many digital modes can just use an audio cable and then VOX on the radio… 🤔

@amatecha yea, I was using just audio and VOX for a bit while I was trouble shooting why the USB connection wouldn't work. Finally got that sorted (missing driver issue) and now have CAT control, which is nice, not having to set the frequency manually.
