I've moved the server on which WSPRnet.org resides. Please let me know if you notice any issues which might be a result of the move.
I also cleaned a bunch of bogus spots out of the database earlier today. I know there are a few more bad spots, but not thousands!
There have been a few threads on antennas, but I think it's important to provide more than that. An equipment baseline can give the amateur receiving the spot a lot more information about just how strong/good the propagation was, and how effective changes on their end are. There is certainly a difference in being received at low power over any distance by a person with a 100FT tower and tribander than the fellow with the 33' long wire.
At M0DUO I am using the following on WSPR:

On the 16th of June I noticed some instability on my MSF time locking system on my MEPT on 10.140073MHz. I thought I sorted it but yesterday there were no Spots. I was busy and only popped in the shack to change bands etc.
A further check today revealed that whilst there was no instability there was no sync either and hence the WSPR was off on timing.
Apologies for this. It is now back on test with a slight modification, please check for Spots of the WSPR.
Reports/Captures are welcome of the Graphical modes also.
I am nteresting in this mode. I try make QSO with low power on sort wave.
I am 61 years old and living in Kaunas, Lithuania. I have also held the calls LY2NH, LY2PAM, JT0/LY2PAM
Now i am using TRX ICOM-706 in QRP mode and dipoles antenna.
My hobby - QSO on 40 and 30 M in digital mode.

My Multimode MEPT on 10.140073MHz has had a new visitor tonight.
Being in the Graphical Mode Sector (10.140000 to 10.140100MHz) it normally, unless someone miss tunes in error, literally does require a visit. Simply by setting the Dial frequency to 10.1386 and the Frequency in the 10.140100 to 10.140200MHz range.
The MEPT provides a guaranteed drift fee WSPR signal every 6 minutes starting on the Hour. After XX:18 the sequence then repeats at XX:20 and XX:26 etc up to the hour.
Power output is a genuine 40mW to a 10MHz 1/2 Wave Dipole.
When I adjust the time with the "Dsec"-button it change somtines the report-time from even to uneven.
In that case you find it in the database.
' 73 and good wispering
Peter , PE1DCD
I monitored 30m most of the weekend. Received many continental USA & CAN stations and a few European ones. Most impressive was 13702 km from 1 watt of ZL1BPU in New Zealand with S/N from -19 to -27dB.
Station of PE1DCD:
Name: Peter
QTH: Rotterdam
Grid: JO21fu
PC: P3-700Mz, W98se, SB16+HM interface
TRX: Yeasu FT897
PWR: 5W (sorry, less is not possible)
Feedline: abt 17 meter RG214u
Ant: wire-trap-dipole (30/17/12) HM
The antenna is abt 3 meter above the roof of my 4-floor appartment.
The direction of the dipole is North/south.
Good luck to all and '73
