Continuing to WSPR on 144MHz

I'm continuing to WSPR on 144MHz with some success I think. At this time there is plenty of activity from Holland, so I'm getting spots, unfortunately not often able to spot the PA stations. Although there are quite a few traces on the WSPR waterfall they do not always decode.  Here is an example that shows a relatively strong station with Doppler shift that would not decode. This seems to be a problem with WSPR on Two Metres.  It would be nice to try WSJT-X on tropo as I understand that Doppler would be less of a problem. 

Strong but Doppler shifted signal probably from Holland
 Below is another that failed to decode.
NO decode WSPR 144MHz





So I am sorry if you've spotted me and I have not spotted you but this probably is a two way problem, there is just more activity in Holland, so thank you for that!

WSPR on Two Metres 144 MHz

WSPR on 144MHz has been something that I've played with over the past few days.  Running twenty Watts and a 9 element beam produced the results in the image below.  Although I can't say these distances are DX they pretty good considering the flat tropospheric conditions at the time and the low power.

If you've spotted me thank you very much.
