While the WSPR beacon mode is very common on the HF bands, it seems to have been largely ignored worldwide by the VHF community.
The exception however is in Australia where there is a very active group of radio amateurs sending and receiving WSPR signals on the 50 MHz and 144 MHz bands.
The map above shows some of the typical paths recorded on WSPR on the 144 MHz band in Australia. The longest distances are usually the sea paths across the Great Australian Bight.
John, VK2IJM compiled a list of the longest paths on 144 MHz during the months of December 2024 and January 2025.
As you can see, some paths were close to 2800 to 2900 kms.
It would be nice to see more 144 MHz WSPR activity in places like Europe, USA and Japan.
