Jeez, why this mess?
If I saw you on QRSS giving K, should I wait for another 2 minutes before
calling you? In the segment 135.9 to 136.05 both cw and QRSS stations will
call you? Will you switch to lower QRSS speed after first successful QSO?
Item #5 is unclear to me - freq range - is it mistake?
I will not have phone with me and access to the Internet is very uncertain.
Please let's have clear rules. Not too much time remaining.
