Congratulations to John, Jack and Peter for moving the two-way 
QSO a bit nearer.

I suspect that as it stands, the QSO does not count as a "two-way", 
but it would if (1) Jack's transmitter was keyed down a landline 
(Internet or even radio?) connection by John, or (2) John's receiver 
audio was relayed to Jack for decoding at his end. This would 
probably count as remote Tx or Rx site.

What it does tell us is that there is enough time to complete a two-
way despite the Catch-22 that very slow speeds must be used to get 
through at all, but there is too little time at very slow speeds to get 
much information transfer. The use of split speed is a useful 
development.
