4th edition? Why have I never heard about this? Well, I think it is a local initiave which they want to bring to a larger public. It seems to be open
for every station. Fun is that you don't have to be a radioamateur.
Everyone with a shortwave receiver and computer with internet (to upload
spots) can participate. Time given is local time, it will be 9:00
UTC "international" time. You can register till one hour before this is starting.
It is a nice initiative. Something like this does already exist on a daily basis. So if you want to check your results:

The only thing is.....you can't get an award from PE1ITR. Reason enough to participate?
I'm shure everyone is welcome to participate in this event. Unfortunately
so far I didn't find any english written participation rules on
https://desteendert.nl/ although part of their website is in english.
Rules are simple though. Only own receivers and antennas are allowed. No webSDRs!

Inverted-V versus 160m sloper on 40m WSPR RX

Number of spots last 24 hours. Red line is inverted-V, blue line is my
160m sloper, At the point the lines cross I switched to the LOG (Loop On Ground). Next 24 hours will be a comparisation between the inverted-V and
the LOG.
Two or more WSPR receive stations with different antennas will quickly
reveal which one is best. Although you need at least a 24h comparisation.
