The 'peaks' on the VE1 signal are often rather short (5-10 minutes), so don't waste time with idle spaces ... Regarding the number of times you send the report : depends on how well the other station can copy you. If you haven't got your report yet I would send it 3 times to be sure, but when I already got an 'O' report it might be sufficient to send it only once or twice. On the other hand (regarding transatlantic QSO's) be aware that QSB can be rather fast and strong, so an you got 'O' few minutes ago can now be down to 'M'. 73, Rik ON7YD
