Aloha,
Welcome to the Maui WebSDR and WSPRdaemon system, now with more geckos!
Embedded Files
On the 6th of March 2024 the OLD Wailuku MauiSDR/KiwiSDR/WSPR site was powered down and disassembled.
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
Please keep in mind we were originally looking to a future with NO Maui SDR, so the current system is better than nothing even with the problems.

Future Work: We hope to make a trip before the end of 2025 to address a few things. Hopefully we can get some more battery power on site and improve our solar input. We also hope to move the main processing down to a network site to alleviate stress on the current system. This will require updates to the microwave infrastructure on site which the related ISP will benefit from as well. We are looking into improved antenna options with the limited hardware we can aquire and transport on the island.
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 s 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)
