  Description     : weak signal propagation reporter for amateur radio

WSPR (pronounced "whisper") implements a protocol designed for probing
potential propagation paths with low-power transmissions.  Each transmission
carries a station's callsign, Maidenhead grid locator, and transmitter power
in dBm.  The program can decode signals with S/N as low as -28 dB in a 2500
Hz bandwidth.  Stations with internet access can automatically upload their
reception reports to a central database called WSPRnet, which includes a
mapping facility.
