It seems to me that if some Beaconing stations were on straightforward CW instead of the interesting but esoteric computerised QRSSS visual modes then newcomers (to LF) could at least identify what they were recieving and assess/improve their RX and antenna arrangements. So far I have heard one amateur station in several months and even that was not with a BFO but beating with the shush-bip-bip shush bip-bip shush bip-bip signal which permeates the band and drives me up the wall if I leave the rx running in the hope of hearing an amateur signal.. . Needless to say he disappeared before I could begin to do any experimenting with RX settings.

Peeps are about to tell me my rx's are not selective enough, I know, but it would be nice to have a signal on which to work.!!

"The stations operating on these modes are audible with me and possibly others and a proper QSO is possible, in fact these countries have been worked before on CW many times, so what is the point."

EXPERIMENTATION! That's the point :)

To me it's not about the message it is about the medium...
