WSPR is "Weak Signal Propagation Reporter" its a way of checking your antennas, output and propagation.
I use mainly a wsprlite, the maximum output is 200mw, rather than tell you all about it here is a link to view it. www.sotabeams.co.uk/wsprlite
I also use a HF transceiver on WSPR, the downside of wsprlite is that its transmit only, you do see your transmit out but there is no receiver.
To see both receive and transmit you need a receiver and if you are not licensed then you need to use a receiver and upload the spots to wsprnet.
Below is some tests on transmit only to test some of my antennas.
Receive will follow as i do more tests.

The first one is the end fed long wire on 30m with an earth, the second is without an earth, surprising slightly better without an earth.
The 3rd one is an off centre dipole, to be fair this was on the following day and propagation wasn't as good so no state side.
Both these antennas run North to South.

The ones below are on 40m dipoles (2 x amp pro with a centre from Radio world) pretty good on 200 milliwatts! and in the loft across the rafters!
