AFDØS WSPR Explorer Enhanced explorer

← FT8 / FT4 / FT2 Explorer

About this experiment — what are we looking for?

Examine small, time-dependent variations in WSPR frequency reports across geographical receiver populations and paths. Compare individual stations, smoothed trends, and distances without assuming an ionospheric disturbance.

Unlike FT8/FT4/FT2, WSPR does not have verified transmitter-frequency matching here. Its receiver/population medians are relative; this analysis cannot separate transmitter, receiver and propagation effects conclusively.

WSPR uses its own measurement model. Relative receiver-centred offsets are calculated within separately imported frequency populations. There is no verified transmitter-frequency matching, so these plots are not independent Doppler measurements. The map marks receiving stations, not ionospheric reflection points.

All directions and distances

Short-timescale variation

Existing report-level plot and adjustable short smoothing. Zoom with Plotly; changing controls preserves the view of this dataset.

Long-timescale variation

Long variation uses coarser time bins, with a separate smoothing window. It is not subtracted from the short trace.

Windows use actual observations only, without interpolation. Curves connect available time-window medians and can bridge missing intervals; apparent periodicity is not established by smoothing. Changing receivers can change population medians.

Peak/trough intervals will appear here when marking is enabled.

Individual receiver comparison

Select up to five repeated receiver traces. No interpolation across missing transmissions; reports can reflect different WSPR transmissions.

Receiver continuity

Counts below refer to the current filtered selection and do not establish independent receiver stability.
