About This Report
The data in this report is generated by a QRP Labs Ultimate3S WSPR beacon operating from the GCARC clubhouse in Mullica Hill, NJ (grid FM29jr). The transmitter runs 100 milliwatts into an end-fed wire antenna approximately 65 feet long and 15 feet above ground, transmitting sequentially on the 40, 30, 20, 15, and 10 meter amateur bands. By keeping the transmitter location, antenna, output power, and transmission schedule fixed, this project holds the non-propagation variables constant — allowing the results to reflect propagation conditions alone rather than differences in station location, configuration, and equipment. The charts and globe below show which parts of the country and world are receiving W2MMD's signal on each band and at what times of day, giving GCARC members practical guidance for identifying the best bands and times to use when trying to reach stations in various regions.

During the reporting period from September 25 to October 2, 2026, W2MMD recorded only two total spots received across North America via a single unique receiver. The data indicates that propagation was entirely absent on the 40m, 30m, 20m, and 10m bands throughout all eight three-hour EDT blocks. Activity was restricted exclusively to the 15m band, which registered one spot during the 15-18 EDT window while remaining silent in all other time slots. This limited reception pattern suggests that signals were only successfully tracked by the single known receiver during the late afternoon hours on the 15-meter frequency.
