Almost a year and a half ago I ordered, built and wrote about a new kit – a stand-alond WSPR transmitter from Jay Wilson W5OLF. You can read it here.
Jay has just announced three big changes to this kit: Continue reading 'Changes & additions to W5OLF’s QRP WSPR kit'»
A few months ago I wrote about a new transmitter kit for WSPR. A receiver kit for this mode is now available from a different source (also available fully built).
Of more significance than the fact that we hams have a new kit available is the idea that WSPR is a great science project for non-hams…and therefore a great way to introduce ham radio to those outside the hobby. Continue reading 'A stand-alone receiver kit for WSPR'»

It was fun and surprising to see what could be accomplished with a watt, even on the low bands. But I had a ton of wires and a rig tied up to the mode. And I couldn’t use the computer’s sound card for other purposes without disconnecting wires and plugging in the speakers. Continue reading 'WSPR simplification & performance improvements'»
