I suggest (for 10s dots only) sending the absolute minimum of info, only the suffix and no "K". For example: G3XDV: "XDV" VE1ZZ: "XDV M" G3XDV "R O" VE1ZZ (not receiving well): "?" G3XDV "R O" VE1ZZ: "R SK" I will try to get on with 10s dots but I have a peculiar problem as my QRSS generator is a MOSFET keyer with tens of megohms in series with the timing control. Must find where the capacitor is. 73 Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.lf.thersgb.net
