Hi "Graphical" Knights.. A proposal.. although a little too late now I think. With the ever increasing QRO IE 500mW and up WSPR signals (most seem to be 5W!! or more in the EU) on 30m, what I would like to see is the section from 10140.100-200 to be ***QRP something like a max of 200mW or maybe less*** above 10.140,200 they can run what they like. The reason being it just wrecks grabbing the few graphical stations who are still QRV between 10.140.0-100. Even with my very very narrow CW Xtal filters and DSP599++ filter it is, most of the time hopeless and weekends it is a waste of time grabbing during the day.. Just have to look at the grabbers on the compendium sites... maybe that's why a lot are QRT ?? I am also saddened to see even more EU WSPR signals (In OUR section) between 10.140.000-100, this morning being a classic case with one being on ~10140.000 another on 085 and one on ~110 who has peaked S6!! Maybe someone could be FWD'd to the relevant WSPR sites/groups.. 73 G6AVK - JO01ho ------------------------------ Hi Colin, I feel your pain too! Some of the WSPR stations are running 50 or even 100 watts and seem oblivious to the purpose of QPR WSPR! Also a few have terrible stability! I have notified a few ops over here and they did change frequency at least. I think that some rigs won't allow power out below about 5 watts which is way too much power! 73 Larry WB3ANQ
