My first WSPR

When finally being able to sync the time on my laptop it was time to try some WSPR. I first read about this mode a long time ago but haven't tried it myself until now. The WSPR software is capable of decoding signals not even heard by the human ear and that makes it ideal for QRP communications. As you can see from the map my best DX on 40m was 4X with my 1 watt tx power.

Time sync follow-up

After a busy weekend I finally found some time to look into the time sync issue again last night. As suspected I had to open a port in the firewall in the DSL router provided by my ISP. I'm now ready to WSPR!

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions!

Syncing computer clock

The last weeks I have tried some digi mode QSOs and wanted to try out WSPR. Although I managed to set up the WSPR software I was not able to sync computer time. I tried both Dimension 4 and Internet Time installed with Win 7 but all I receive is a timeout failure. I have played around with firewall and anti virus settings but the problem still persists. Any suggestions?
