Due to popular demand, some time after midnight, I changed from the 5 dashes pattern I have been sending to something which should resemble my callsign - it is actually an improvisation obtained by putting together the appropriate number of 30s dashes and 10s spaces; when viewed in a narrow resolution, these merged together reasonably well into long dots and dashes, and took about 1hour 20mins to send the complete call. Does anybody know of a keyer program available for longer dot lengths ? I monitored VA3LK's frequency, but have just received an E-mail from Larry saying he would not be transmitting from Thursday onwards - which probably explains why I didn't receive anything! Larry also confirms receiving my beacon signal around midnight on Tuesday night. My E-mail account does not appear to be working properly still, although I have received a few much delayed messages this morning. My apologies if anyone is expecting a reply from me - please try again. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
