Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR used for astronomical observations — Reaching out to Prof. Taylor

Hi Serge,

I can find no record of an email from you last August.

The best published reference to the WSPR protocol and the WSPRnet 
database is this one:


J. Taylor, K1JT, and B. Walker, W1BW, "WSPRing Around the World," in 
QST, November 2010, pp. 30-32.


A copy of the paper's manuscript is available as item 16 on this page of 
the WSJT web site:

-- 73, Joe, K1JT

Hi, this is Serge, ON4AA,
mostly known from https://hamwaves.com/propagation/

I am writing to this mailing list in a desperate attempt to contact 
Prof. Joe Taylor, K1JT.
Late last August, I tried reaching Joe on his Princeton e-mail address 
but got no response, most probably due to the pandemic.


Here is the deal:

WSPR can be used to observe the largest structure in our solar system: 
the heliospheric current sheet (HCS).


I have been aggregating, over the course of almost four years, the data 
of nearly 42 million individual WSPR reports and
have compared this with satellite data at the L1 Lagrange point and 
other data sets.


Statistical analysis (I was formally trained at this) shows that WSPR is 
far superior to other Earth-based methods for observing the HCS. This 
finding also has an important consequence for our understanding about 
amateur radio propagation; but more on that later.


At the moment, I am preparing a paper which I hope to publish in ACU 
Space Weather, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
I would love to acknowledge the contribution of Joe and other WSPR & 
wsprnet.org developers and this is why I am writing here.


I am looking forward to someone here putting me in direct contact with 
Joe, or for Joe to write me at: serge(at)stroobandt.com Thanks!
