The above figures seem a bit strange to me : QRSS at 60 sec/dot should be 13dB better than QRSS at 3 sec/dot. I won't argue about 1..2 dB more or less, but a difference of 9dB (4dB vs 13dB) seems hard to believe. Recent tests (eg. the QSO between G3XDV and CT1DRP) have shown even between 3 sec/dot and 10 sec/dot there is a significant difference (from a bare 'T' to a solid 'O') that is probably close to 4dB. Also the 9dB between 'by ear' and 3 sec/dot seems rather conservative, other tests (eg. those done by DK8KW) have shown a 15dB difference. I'm not saying that WOLF is not superior to QRSS, but the above figures seem not correct to me. 73, Rik ON7YD
