The acronym
WPSR in the context of "spotting" most commonly refers to the Weak Signal Propagation Reporter (WSPR) protocol used by amateur radio operators, not a traditional spotting community site for aircraft, trains, or ships. WSPR
is a specialized protocol and software used for weak-signal radio
communication to examine radio wave propagation conditions. It involves
low-power beacons and receiving stations ("spotters") that upload data
to a central database.
The primary site for this activity is WSPRnet:
- WSPRnet.org: This is the centralized database that collects and displays real-time propagation reports (spots) from WSPR stations worldwide. Users can view maps, tables, and statistics related to WSPR activities.
This
technology has also been used in experimental ways for other types of
"spotting," such as detecting and tracking aircraft over long distances,
which gained some prominence during the search for MH370. However, this
is a technical application of the radio data, not a general public
spotting site in the traditional sense.
