About WSPR World Watch v3
This app answers the two basic questions facing radio amateurs:-
Which band shall I use right now?
Where shall I point my beam right now ?
It will also interest anyone who wants to study radio propagation and the ionosphere.
This app plots radio transmission paths observed in real-time on a world map which can be centered either on the Atlantic or the Pacific.
It also plots the greyline and displays current Space Weather indexes and may optionally plot Aurora ovals.
It can be configured to make voice alerts for band openings
Performance of individual stations may be monitored.
This FREE app is memory hungry and may not work on your device. PLEASE do not downgrade if it crashes because this does not help the 99 percent of users whose devices do support it. Instead look at what other memory hungry apps you have and decide to remove them.
To understand this app you need to read the FAQ which is launched from the menu. The FAQ item is near the bottom of the Menu list.
The data is provided by the WSPR (Weak Signal Propagation Reporter pronounced 'whisper') system which is designed for probing radio propagation paths using low-power beacon-like transmissions from Radio Amateurs. WSPR signals convey only a callsign, grid locator and sending power level. Receiving stations with internet access automatically upload reception reports to the central WSPR database.

Works very well indeed on my Moto G4+. Would like to be able to zoom map to more easily access VHF and UHF propagation. Thanks for a really useful tool.

If you are interested in Amateur Radio then this is a very useful app. It can be used to get a quick look at conditions without having to fire up the Main Radio and tune the bands. Any band can be pulled up from the menu and it will give you an idea of the conditions on that band by showing the reported spots. Menu options allow you to not only select a band of your choice, but call-signs can be filtered if you are looking for a particular station. Easy to download and install, it is well worth having.

Though I do not have amateur radio equipment, due to cost, I find signal propagation extremely interesting. Sun spot number, Solar flux, Solar flares, Solar storms, Aurora activity, and more, are there. Add actual weak signal, high frequency radio stations and their operating conditions, and this is a beautifully concise application for anybody interested in HF signal propagation. Should I ever stumble across a very affordable, free, or repairable, HF transceiver, I will get my license.
