About WSPR
WSPR (pronounced “whisper”) uses software and low power signals to communicate globally. WSPR is a “weak signal propagation reporter” and is used for finding communication paths. It can astound you with its ability to communicate worldwide using very low power and signals at or near the noise level. Power levels of 500 mW and often much less are used. It is more exciting than short wave as the messages contain data. A nice feature of WSPR is that “spots” can be automatically downloaded to a central database WSPRnet.org and results shown on a large map. See facing page. This is a great motivator for kids. We hope you explore this web site to learn more about WSPR and its features.
