I want to inquire one more time about WSPR-15. Is this mode finally declared forever abandoned or is there still some hope it will find its way into WSJT-X?
I must emphasize WSPR-15 is the miracle beacon and propagation study mode for LF, where it is still used every day. As one example: recently WSPR-15 brought me numerous LF reports from KL7, I7 and SV8 where WSPR-2 could not. I was running alternating WSPR-15 / WSPR-2 as I often do, two transmissions of WSPR-15 per hour and six of WSPR-2. WSPR-15 has a huge advantage over WSPR-2. The "problem" is that not everyone is able to run WSPR-X successfully. I myself have spent nearly two years trying to figure out why it isn't stable on my system but have no answers. Sometimes it will run for a week, other times it will silently terminate every few minutes. This does not seem related to what other software is running or when the PC was rebooted. It seems completely unpredictable. Others report similar experience. Also, WSPR-X often fails to upload to WSPRnet. Note: no other application has any problems on my system, including multiple instances of WSJT-X which are flawlessly stable. The fact that there have been two recent third party attempts to "patch" or work around these issues with WSPR-X should say something about how the LF community views WSPR-15. I have heard some rumors about a possible replacement for WSPR-15. I won't comment much on that since I heard these rumors indirectly but the ideas I heard left me wondering if it would really measure up to what WSPR-15 can tell us about propagation. 73, Paul N1BUG _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
