Saturday afternoon I was in the shack and had ARGO running (at 3sec/dot)
while being otherwise occupied. at 17.50 I saw a very faint interruped line
on 137701, 'T' copy at best. It seemed 10sec/dot QRSS to me, so I switched
ARGO to 10sec/dot and the faint line became a 'O' copy signal of what
seemed the end of a QSO as I could just copy : 'TNX E E SK'.
Conclusion : 10 sec/dot can make a real difference over 3 sec/dot (from 'T'
to 'O')
Question : who's transmission did I catch ?
This was Brian, CT1DRP, signing with me. We changed from
3s to 10s dots as copy was marginal. The difference was huge
as can be seen from

The downside was, of course, the time it took to exchange the
most basic info. Yes, I know I should be using DFCW . . . .
