Hello all,
 
I am happy!!!
 
I just made my first QRSS/DFCW QSO's by = accident.
 
 
I just wanted to check receiving = software, at the=20 time running 'spectrum laboratory v2.1 b2".
 
I connected the T-antenna to the = loading coil etc,=20 and tuned up with low power, just to get best reception.
Well, I suddenly heard a carrier, and = on my screen=20 I recognized the first dashes and dots:
 
C   Q    = P  =20 A    3    C     =20 P    M 
 
Well I thought that's = nice.
I decided to beacon a bit, just for = fun, and to=20 test my just finished DFCW unit.
Transmitted my call 2 times, and = switched to=20 reception.
 
Guess what............ I saw my = callsign coming=20 back! somebody calling me!!!!!!!
A total surprise, turned out to be = PA3CPM calling=20 me.
We exchanged "O/O" and = locators......
 
After the QSO someone else called me, = but couldn't=20 get it clear on my screen.
I searched for my Timewave DSP59+, and = after some=20 trial and error I got it running, meanwhile the calling
station was gone.
I TX-ed ?? and, then I saw Jim, M0BMU=20 returning.
That QSO was also made, but I had a lot = of trouble=20 in reading him.
I think it would have been easier in = normal=20 CW!
 
For some reason I was not able to get = the right=20 settings in spec lab.
Resolution is difficult, the tone went = down in=20 noise, it looked like.
Anyway, my ear was better then the=20 computer.....
 
Maybe some tips about advised=20 settings?
 
I tried to load Argo, but couldn't find = driver on=20 my pc.
