DPØGVN WSPR Beacon in Antarctia is operational

In English. Perhaps in German it is capitalized.

 

Just a waste of time and effort.

 

A "TLA".

That is, a "Three Letter Acronym".

 

There's lots to do in the hobby, and WSPR has been a great tool pushing the boundary of what can be done with HF propagation. I have reached the other side of the planet with 100mW, and that's pretty cool to me!

Or, were you referring to your post?

 

Acronym. Cluster of initials standing for something. Examples: AC, ARRL, ARES, DC, FUBAR, MD, NIMH......

 

Not sure if I am deciphering this correctly, but no, you need the software . WSPR frequencies are published, Google "wspr frequencies" for the complete list.

Awesome! How large is the 60m mag-loop?

I had just finished building a 40-10m trap dipole and mounted it pretty low as an inverted-V. Surprised the heck out of me that I worked DP0VGN on 40m JT9 that night running 10w. Great guys down there.

 

It is a pity, but yesterday on 10.136 fashion of FT8, 2 hours could not cause. Full ignoring of Asia!
Decoding was excellent.

 

Pretty nice idea!
We, a group of DLR colleagues, working at Instiute of Space Systems in Bremen planning also a artic beacon.
Place is Thule/ Greenland. This hardware will be a part of our satellite groundstation based in a sea container. Test mode is running with the callsign DK0DLR/1. The complete hardware is remote controlled. I will keep you informed when this system goes in operational mode.

You were heard in S.Sweden, nice. 14313 kms.

 

This was a GREAT article. Thank you very much. I read and reread the article several times. There were also a few replies worth reading and I gave those a "like".

 

Thank you very much for this post. I am excited to hear the beacon when it is operational.

 

Does anybody know what frequency this beacon is on so perhaps people like me can see if we can hear it?
