Hi Petr I will get this right yet.
       We want to give stations who don't have qrss a chance to listen and call
So please, yes wait 2 minutes before you call on qrss.  Once a contact is
underway ,  we will respond as the qso developes,  ie if we get qrss call we
will answer that station only and will only transmit the mode we receive an
answer in .....
    Corrections:
           Line 4 We will listen135.98 to136.05 for cw answers for 18 minutes
           Line 5  At the same time we will look for 3 sec dot qrss  from
135.90  through  135.97 kHz  .
           Line7  We would like to accommodate stations who feel they would
have shot across pond with 10 sec dots.  we are open to suggestions.  Perhaps
we should listen (look) for 10 second dot qrss after say 0300Z  providing a QSO
across the pond has occurred
             I hope this helps  73 de John VE1ZJ
