  • FT8 Skimmer base on kiwirecoder

    The idea was learned from wsprdaemon by @rrobinett, and a post back to 2018 by @k1ra http://forum.kiwisdr.com/discussion/1377/suggestion-ft8-decoder.

    WSPR is good, yet FT8 mode is more and more popular nowdays, more signals, easer to pickup(compared to wspr, some people use maga watt to transmit FT8).

    This can be useful in determining propagation conditions or in adjusting antenna. A wide band antenna kiwisdr located in urban area in my case, with 10 bands requests at the same time, can be easily reach over 10,000 spots within 24 hours.

    It is also interesting to see how long it takes to spot 100 different DXCC/countries. (A well placed station with a decent antenna can do this within a week of monitoring, but the best systems can do it within a single day).

    You can check the code from https://github.com/lazywalker/DigiSkimmer

    Hi Stu,
    compared to wsprdaemon, digiskr is quite simple since it can't merge the same bands. the benefit of digiskr might be combination of multi-modes and cross-mode/bands hopping (easy to implement JT65/JT9 thought) .

    And yes, the new version can grab the antenna information from KiwiSDR and upload it to pskreport, i'll see if I can add some platform infos
