BASIC Tech Group - MyNews 16 - WSPR code for 30m

Here's the code for 30m WSPR transmissions, it has my new call sign embedded. Reminder: the code runs on my Arduino shield using a Si5351 modules and a DS3231 RTC module for timing. The time has to be set to the nearest 1sec using special sketch.

// WSPR_30M-Basic
