Receive a QRSS signal on the HF bands
Check out https://qrss.org/ for a list of frequencies and fire up a QRSS grabber software like Argo (I2PHD), Spectrum Lab (DL4YHF), LOPORA (PA2OHH) or QrssPiG (HB9FXX). There are signals transmitting 24/7 on most bands that are easy to copy.

2025-05-13 09:50:27yo3gnd@mastodon.radio31Success!I made some software rendering pixel fonts into audio and I TXed a #qrss signal. RXed my own on the grabbers, and the common ones on 30m. Does this count as a threefer for the #hamchallenge? (44, 46 and 48). @hamchallenge #HC44S #HC46S #HC48S
2025-10-29 09:23:07DJ5CW@social.darc.de29Success!#hamchallenge Week 44: Receive a QRSS signal. Easy one for me, because I have a 30m QRSS grabber running 24/7 for a bit over a year now. The details are described on my website. https://fkurz.net/ham/qrss/qrss-wsprd-setup.html #HC44SThe screenshot shows the QRSS signals of S52AB, G5JJ, G4OEP, G0PKT, M0BMN, G0MBA and G4JQT, received a few minutes ago. @hamchallenge
2025-10-29 11:56:22DJ3CE@social.darc.de15Working on it...With #hamchallenge #HC44 โ€“ look for QRSS signals โ€“ I once again experience the immense differences of antennas in picking up all the noise in my urban area. My setup varies a lot, but for visualization its always qrsspig with some customizations.Best antenna so far: DipoleWorst antenna: In-room active E-Antenna ๐Ÿ™ƒNo fancy results, only faint spurs until nowโ€ฆ@hamchallenge
