Kiwiwspr0.5d.sh running on a RPi3+ has worked very well for me during the past 24 hours. At one point last night it was decoding 630 WSPR spots per minute.

At 06:27 UTC the watchdog log indicated that six stale capture jobs were restarted with six new PIDs. This eliminated my ~ 06:23 WSPR failure problem.

For a short experiment I ran seven instances of WSPR with 0.5d from 40 – 10 m and one instance of 20m WSPR on the Kiwi’s one remaining channel for comparison. During a one hour period 0.5d decoded 46 spots from 18 unique stations. The Kiwi decoded 41 spots from 16 unique stations. I suppose this shows that the wsprd algorithm used with 0.5d is more efficient than the older one used with the Kiwi. I realize that running more instances on the Kiwi would overburden the limited processing power of the Beagle resulting in even fewer spots.

Kiwiwspr0.5d.sh is a great asset. Once again, my thanks to Rob and everyone else who made it possible.
