The screen shot speaks for itself! Where are you located? Multipath fading, Doppler shift and other ionospheric evilness works against us but nevertheless, QRSS seems to work on HF too! My current beacon uses a sloppy "can oscillator" which is drifting several Hz on 80m but I am working on a new beacon using a frequency standard that is much better than a piece of rock... Stay tuned... Jim: >Re: QRSS on 80m - Sounds like fun, I will try to receive it later on. It is fun! I managed to receive 15s dot QRSS from SM0AOM (who also is on this list, BTW, hej Karl-Arne!) on 40m some months ago. He transmitted a 0.75uW (microwatt) signal and I got a solid copy on the Argo screen with surprisingly little "spectral smearing". Distance is approx. 400km. The F-layer must have been acting as a perfect mirror that day. This worked on the very first attempt so, statistically, either - we had luck - or - this is indeed workable! Low dipoles were used at both ends (NVIS?). The beacon will continue to run through the night (QRSS10 on 3593.546-ish...). Sorry for the off-topic/off-band message.. 73 to ALL Johan, SM6LKM
