Aloha,

Welcome to the Maui WebSDR and WSPRdaemon system, now with more geckos!

On the 6th of March 2024 the OLD Wailuku MauiSDR/KiwiSDR/WSPR site was powered down and disassembled due to sale of the host property.

The new location is on a hill above the Kahakuloa Valley colocated with a small local WISP. The antenna is an active magloop with nulls to the NNW and SSE.

Unfortunately we do not have sufficient solar/battery at the new location to keep the WebSDR/WSPRdaemon portion up.

The KiwiSDR on site is functional, being used for WSPR and general usage.

WSPR reporting as AI6VN/KH6

Due to the KiwiSDR primarily operating as a WSPR receiver, channels are limited.

We need your help

If you have an accessible site on the islands with commercial power and a good internet connection with no nearby transmitters, we would love to hear from you as a potential new location for the system.

A location is needed away from any potential noise makers (e.g. micro-inverter or optimizers on solar arrays)

Contact rob@robinett.us if you are interested.

Future Work:

Improve battery storage and solar controllers
Work on quieting the RF noisy equipment on site
Replace power hungry relays with solid state devices
Replace failed GPSDO to restore LO to local RX888
Install backup RX888
Offload WSPR/FST4W/PSK processing to a remote site with commercial power.
