Hi Brian,
There was an upgrade to the WSPR servers during the year, and so far the Australian summer operations has not overclocked the system and caused it to crash, like it has done in previous years, so its looking very reliable this season so far, I've not had any issue with it not loading etc at all.
I would highly recommend use of WSPRview software designed by Doug VK4ADC, its very good when set up properly for people wanting to monitor WSPR reports. If you have enough screen space, run it same time as the Spotter, or if you have two screens to keep an eye on things.

I'm sure some of these super paths will be achieve at eventually, certainly it has be achieved from west of Adelaide to all parts of ZL in previous seasons. I think it would help if the people using WSPR were more involved and used VKSpotter to report instances of WSPR decodes as they occur as most of the keen VK/ZL VHF operators watch the progress of dx on the spotter. The VKSpotter is very flexible in how you report and WSPR can be filtered if that is your wish. I know you can watch WSRPnet but it much slower and unrelieable and you get a much more complete picture of the DX paths that are occuring from 6m up using the Spotter.
It sometimes seems the WSPR operators are keener to report on to Facebook where there are many less montoring in real time. The other plus is that more contacts may be completed with the various digital modes now avaiable or even CW/SSB and not just wspr reports.
