3D2UR – Fiji WSPR beacon is now online….

Jun 7, 2022

Since the 6th of June 2022, the 3D2UR WSPR beacon is now online on a 24h basis and transmitting on a roster of frequencies between the 80m and 10m bands using 200mW. More information about this project can be found here. This is a first for Fiji and will be very useful for studies of ionospheric propagation on the HF bands. Below are photos of the setup using a multi-band end-fed antenna on a 10m fiberglass pole atop a balcony on the third floor of the Physics building at the University of the South Pacific. The setup team included Antoine 3D2AG, Phill 3D2TS and Mr Neil Singh, in charge of the laboratory. [FULL INFO]
