One could also use normal QRSS, a dot being a 'space' and a dash a 'mark'. Thus one would have a code book of 127 phrases (or better still 256 for an 8-bit word) A lot more information could then be passed than for a 'normal' QRSS contact.. e.g. (Bin) 100 - Wx stormy, 101- windy, 102 - light wind, 103 - still . . . 104 heavy rain, 105 light rain, 106 drizzle . . . 110 - my age is less than 20, 111: 20-30, 112: 30-40 ... Nothing's new; Nelson's Royal Navy used to send complex messages using a handful of flags ! 73 Chris G3XIZ -----Original Message----- From: Johan Bodin [mailto:jbodin@tele2.se] Sent: 11 February 2005 02:52:PM To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Subject: Re: LF: Re: RE: Re: QRSS - KN ? If one has DFCW capability, numbers such as 73 can be transmitted in binary form. For example, a 7-bit DFCW "word" has a range 0..127. No other CW character has as many as 7 elements so there should be no risk of confusing it with other characters. -__-__- = 64 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 73 This format will only save time if the number has more than one digit since all "normal" digits are just 5T long in DFCW mode. Just a wild idea... :-) 73 Johan SM6LKM BTW, 0x73 + 0x88 = 0xFB -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
