Hello everyone,
That was a very impressive list of WSPR contacts but may I ask what
is the purpose of this mode ?
Kind regards, Mel G0GQK
Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a brand/model of an older cheap 2m rig which is
simple to hook up to a TNC for VHF packet only. I don't really want to
buy a new rig just for this use so am looking at older workhorses.
Power needs to be around 35W but would prefer a rig that can do a low
power

Just about anything will work.
E-bay is loaded with very good packet rigs.

Sholto, I have a Radio Shack 2M base radio somewhere in my basement
collecting dust. I will look for it and stick it in the mail to you,
gratis. I also have cables for it that were designed for the rig and
PSK232, I think. Kinda boring 2M rig with not the best reviews but I got it
for packet
I have used a couple of Icom IC-25A rigs for packet. I think they are 25w.
The drawback with them is they do not come with memory that holds across a
power failure. But there is a connection point for adding a battery backup
for the memory. Last I looked they were about $40 on Ebay.

I like using the mode from time to time, or looking at the map to see what
possible propagation may be at any given time.
Other digital modes can then be used to better effect.
