Hi Leigh,
That looks good.
I think you have clearly demonstrated that a chart like this spanning a 24 hour period is easy to read at a glance. I'm pretty sure that a clever web guy could extract data from a WSPR site constrained by say the callsign prefix and time to produce a chart that is close to live. A Raspberry Pi for example would have enough grunt to do that kind of work and even output the result to a touch screen as well as a web page. As a bonus it could send emails when the trace crossed over zero.
However, I don't think that something like this should replace the current reporting method because having all those data points available makes research possible for those that can crunch big number sets.
