I am able to do the same on 500 KCS. I am surprised you have difficulty with my signal, I expect the problem is your end. NC1K was a professional CW operator (Radio Officer) unfortunately now silent key. de G3KEV ----- Original Message ----- From: "John RABSON" To: Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 9:47 PM Subject: Re: LF: wspr On 01/09/2009 at 20:17 mal hamilton wrote: >Roger I am stating the facts, someone else mentioned seeing the signals >on the waterfall but they were not decoding.

Had I had one, and given the snr I observed, I would have expected 100% copy. On the few occasions I have heard Mal, his snr has not been anything like as good as WSPR.
