Graham es Co
While Opera es other data modes are an alternative to CW for a change they
need another level of demodulation and cannot really compete with the basic
CW mode or QRSS CW.
I often see traces of all data modes that could easily be identified in QRSS
but they do not decode therefore the purpose of the transmission is lost.
