WSPR is NOT what they say it is. It is receiving stations connected to a server somewhere in cyberspace. The receivers collect and report signals, by listening for call signs on specific frequencies. It is actually an amateur radio centric project. The description of “tripwires “ is pure hokum.

This is totally bogus.

Agreed. As someone who has actually used wspr and the associated database wsprnet, has qso'd with Joe Taylor, is versed in radio propagation, and read the article, it sounds like complete b.s.

Thank you! I was going to post what WSPR really is, as I'm a ham radio guy also.
