[600MRG] WSPRnet

[Andy - KU4XR]

My mind wonders; when Joe - K1JT compiled the WSPR software, that the mode would
become a near worldwide phenomenon ?? Joe doesn't run the servers as far as I know..
I also wonder just how much data passes through the wsprnet.org servers on any given day ?? 
And, assuming that weekend activity is higher too ... You can look at the " spots in the database " 
ticker and see that there is A_LOT of data there, and it just keeps growing... Fun Stuff !!

73 all :

 I assume everyone is having problems
 with WSPR.net ?
 Most times I figure its my problem out here in the sticks
 but think its WSPRnet and not my junk from what I hear.
 
 I am willing to donate and keep it running and fix the
 problems,
 Or has anyone thought of an alternative?  someone who
 already
 has the gear and is hosting other sites,   I
 am willing to donate to
 start a new one also,   if the owner of the
 present site is too
 busy to maintain it from year to year I think activity
 warrants a
 change,  if there was a reliable alternative it would
 take all the
 activity over to the new one fast.   Not
 trying to root up the
 present one,  but if it is not going to be maintained
 then its
 time to look elsewhere,  or the owner should allow
 someone to
 do maintenance and upgrades..
 
 I have been getting "too many users" error every day now
 for
 some time,  or else just nothing from the site at
 all,  just waits
 for the computer to time out.   If it wont
 handle the activity we
 now have its surely no good in the near future.  Will
 only get
 worse as activity increases.
 
 Just my thoughts,  73 Merv K9FD/KH6  WH2XCR
