DFCW is still a very experimental mode, so not very standardized yet.
Generaly accepted is that the higher frequency stands for 'dash' and the
lower for 'dot'. The frequency shift is dependent on the dot length. For 3
seconds per dot (that has become a kind of informal standard) a shift of
4Hz is used. A 1 second 'gap' is used to separate the elements (dots and
dashes) within a character, characters are separated by a gap of 1 dot
length, words by a gap of 2 dot lengths.
Rik,
Have I misunderstood, or are you saying there is a gap between
each dot and each dash? I thought there was no need to do this as
the frequency determines whether an element is a dot or dash so a
dot three times the dot lenght must be three consecutive dots.
Probably me being dumb.
