EbNauters,

No copy here either.

Supporting Jay’s suggestions, I note that the majority of my successful TA EbNaut transmissions from FM18qi have been using transmission periods of less than 30 minutes.

73,

Both receptions of IZ7SLZ and IW4DXW (a while back) were 'one and done' with no hint of the signal in adjacent time slots ... using 30 minute transmission times. Even DK7FC's normally big signal shows big QSB swings from one half hour period to the next. Can't help but wonder if 20 or 30 minute transmission periods make better use of the QSB characteristics on 136 kHz.
