Raspberry Pi bareback LF/MF/HF/VHF WSPR transmitter  <pe1nnz@amsat.org>

 Makes a very simple WSPR beacon from your RasberryPi by connecting GPIO
 port to Antanna (and LPF), operates on LF, MF, HF and VHF bands from
 0 to 250 MHz.

Credits:
  Credits goes to Oliver Mattos and Oskar Weigl who implemented PiFM [1]
  based on the idea of exploiting RPi DPLL as FM transmitter. Dan MD1CLV
  combined this effort with WSPR encoding algorithm from F8CHK, resulting
  in WsprryPi a WSPR beacon for LF and MF bands. Guido PE1NNZ extended
  this effort with DMA based PWM modulation of fractional divider that was
  part of PiFM, allowing to operate the WSPR beacon also on HF and VHF bands.
  In addition time-synchronisation and double amount of power output was
  implemented.

To use:
  In order to transmit legally, a HAM Radio License is REQUIRED for running
  this experiment. The output is a square wave so a low pass filter is REQUIRED.
  Connect a low-pass filter with decoupling C to GPIO4 (GPCLK0) and Ground pins
  on your Raspberry Pi, connect an antenna to the LPF. The GPIO4 and GND pins
  can be found on header P1 pin 7 and 9 respectively, the pin closest to P1 label
  is pin 1 and its  3rd and 4th neighbour is pin 7 and 9 respectively, see this
  link for pin layout: http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals Examples of
  low-pass filters can be found here: http://www.gqrp.com/harmonic_filters.pdf
  The expected power output is 10mW (+10dBm) in a 50 Ohm load. This looks
  neglible, but when connected to a simple dipole antenna this may result in
  reception reports ranging up to several thousands of kilometers.
  Example of low-pass filters here: http://www.gqrp.com/harmonic_filters.pdf
  As the Raspberry Pi does not attenuate sufficiently ripple and noise
  components in the 5V USB power supply, it is RECOMMENDED to use a regulated
  supply that has sufficient ripple supression. Supply ripple might be seen as
  mixing products centered around the transmit carrier repeating every 100/120Hz
  for respectively 50/60Hz mains.

  This software is using system time to determine the start of a WSPR
  transmissions, so keep the system time synchronised within 1sec precision,
  i.e. use NTP network time synchronisation or set time manually with date
  command. Reception reports are logged on Weak Signal Propagation Reporter

  Frequency calibration is REQUIRED to ensure that the WSPR transmission occurs
  within the 200 Hz narrow band. The reference crystal on your RPi might have
  an frequency error (which in addition is temperature dependent -1.3Hz/degC@10MHz).
  To calibrate, the frequency might be manually corrected on the command line
  or by changing the F_XTAL value in the code. A practical way to calibrate
  is to tune the transmitter on the same frequency of a medium wave AM broadcast
  station; keep tuning until zero beat (the constant audio tone disappears when
  the transmitter is exactly on the same frequency as the broadcast station),
  and determine the frequency difference with the broadcast station. This is
  the frequency error that can be applied for correction while tuning on a WSPR
  frequency.

Installation / update:
  Open a terminal and execute the following commands:
   sudo apt-get install git
   rm -rf WsprryPi
   git clone https://github.com/threeme3/WsprryPi.git
   cd WsprryPi

Usage:
  sudo ./wspr <callsign> <locator> <power in dBm> [<frequency in Hz> ...]
        e.g.: sudo ./wspr K1JT FN20 10 7040074 0 0 10140174 0 0
        where 0 frequency represents a interval for which TX is disabled

  WSPR is used on the following frequencies (local restriction may apply):
     LF   137400 - 137600
     MF   475600 - 475800
    160m  1838000 - 1838200
     80m  3594000 - 3594200
     60m  5288600 - 5288800
     40m  7040000 - 7040200
     30m  10140100 - 10140300
     20m  14097000 - 14097200
     17m  18106000 - 18106200
     15m  21096000 - 21096200
     12m  24926000 - 24926200
     10m  28126000 - 28126200
      6m  50294400 - 50294600
      4m  70092400 - 70092600
      2m  144490400 -144490600
