About WsprDaemon
WsprDaemon runs as a Linux service to decode WSPR and FST4W spots from one or more receivers and reliably posts them to wsprnet.org. Key features include:
Multi-receiver Support: Merge spots from multiple receivers for best SNR
Advanced Scheduling: Time-based and sunrise/sunset relative band switching
Noise Measurement: Background noise level recording and graphing
Scientific Integration: GRAPE system support for ionospheric research
High Reliability: Automatic recovery from outages with local caching
Broad Hardware Support: KiwiSDR, RX888, RTL-SDR, and other SDR platforms
Most of the top 20+ spotting sites at wspr.rocks/topspotters run WsprDaemon, collectively reporting about 33% of the 7+ million daily spots at wsprnet.org.
