HI Paul and Bill, If the data is available within the All.txt file and you can get the exact format, I will be more than happy to update Alltext.exe to accommodate that function. 73,

I understand your position. It is very unfortunate that WSPRnert no longer seems to have a development or maintenance resource. I will attempt to determine experimentally exactly which fields are needed by WSPRnet. I believe I already have a pretty good feel for that but just need to confirm. I hope once I have nailed that down Sam can provide a third party conversion resource. It would be unfortunate if some long time LF/MF stations could no longer upload WSPR spots without resorting to running an old version, to say nothing of FST4W. 73, Paul N1BUG On 9/28/2020 6:10 PM, Bill Somerville wrote: > Hi Paul, > > the current WSPR implementation in WSJT-X calls wsprd to do the > decoding, so the ALL_WSPR.TXT file it writes is the same as you would > get by using wsprd from the command line.
