WSPR data - VK4ADC
#1
I have been running my low power VK4ADC Raspberry Pi-based WSPR beacon since last December (2018), initially just on 6M then expanding it to cover 30 / 20 / 17 /15 plus 6M back around January/February 2019.

I use my WSPRView software to manually retrieve all of my spots from WSPRNET.org every few days and it all adds to a large data file each time.  Today I took the time to process it to make it provide some details about who, where and what bands have been used to hear this WSPR beacon and I was somewhat astounded to find that there were now 98000-odd reports present.

Those reports are spread across all of the bands used but the numbers of 30M reports are astounding, nearly 47000 - or half of the total reports saved.
Spotter    ,    30M,    20M,    17M,    15M,    6M,  Error,Grid  ,    KM,
Totals      ,  46680,  35608,  7692,  1858,  6213,    61,      ,      ,

The 61 marked as errors are because they did not get recorded against the correct band etc.. Finger trouble at the spotter's end.

For those of you who want to see if your callsign is listed as a spotter, the today's data extract is here (and is better formatted) :
