I had my ears checked out three or four weeks ago at the local hospital, as part of a complete checkout I do every couple of years. I have a flat response on both ears from below 50 Hz to almost 12 kHz. So my ears are quite ok, thanks for asking. And I am *not* comparing WSPR to QRS, read again my post. I am comparing WSPR to CW. WSPR can decode on the screen what aurally is not even possible to ear. Not even the best, most qualified and skilled CW operator in this world can decode what he cannot hear... WSPR, on the contrary, can. 73 Alberto I2PHD
