Content preview: Yes Stefan Too many distractions MODES and BANDS and not enough Operators suitably equipped to go round especially in QSO MODE Years back when I transmitted on CW or QRSS I nearly always got a response that resulted in a QSO. Looking at present day activity it seems to be BEACON only and noone responding either on the same Band, same Mode or XBAND. I used to get called frequently on 7033 by USA station on CW when they heard/saw my signal on 136 or 500 Khz This is why I do NOT bother at present. I am only interested in two way communications and not Beacon pollution At present 500/472 suits me because I can get a real CW QSO.
