PC for wspr spotting; install procedure

The PC is set up exactly the same as the PC for radiod, with two differences:

  1. No RX888MKII connected to the PC, and no radiod started
  2. wsprdaemon is started instead.

Wsprdaemon has to know that the program should look remotely for the wsprdaemon data streams. We do that by editing the wsprdaemon.conf file in /home/wsprdaemon and put the following line in it:

KA9Q_RUNS_ONLY_REMOTELY="yes"

starting wsprdaemon is done by:

sudo systemctl start wsprdaemon.service

and stopping wsprdaemon is done by:

sudo systemctl stop wsprdaemon.service

 

The wdln command gives the activities of wsprdaemon and the list of all spots, uploaded to the wsprnet and wsprlive servers.
