The software webscrapes data from wsprnet.org, filter out calls from the balloons and decode additional telemetry.

There are existing functions to load/save flightdata from csv/wsprnet-archive-files.

The scripts work with a database in sqlite. It can be used to do all kinds of output/export like checking the last sent spots:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sqlite3 wsprdb.db 'select * from sentspots order by time_sent desc limit 30'
|
