Markus is absolutely right. This should reduce QRM for those monitoring for DX, and improve the chance of two-way DX QSOs. However, I think many stations have recently used the upper slot because mos
Hi Stefan, I am pleased my beacon was useful, and thanks for sharing your results. Other people used my transmission last night and I have been asked to run it again tonight. I work from home and ca
There are no official differences in procedure, but of course most stations would try to send less information and shorter 'words' during slower QRSS QSOs. "73" could be replaced by "GB" (goodbye), a
I am transmitting 'XDV' on QRSS60 from now until tomorrow morning (the 28th). The frequency is 136.3198kHz. I note that DJ8WX is on 136.3190kHz and PA3CPM is on 136.3180kHz at present. Mike, G3XDV ==
Chris, Yes, I can repeat the exercise tonight. Weather permitting (it's raining heavily here now) I will transmit my call in QRSS3 on 136.318kHz from around 1800 to 2100UTC. 73 de Mike ==
A successful test this afternoon has proved my new safety timer that cuts off the transmitter if it has been sending continuously for more than 7 minutes. This gives me more confidence to transmit ov
Horst, Have you just connected your antenna to the MV62, or is the antenna tuned with a loading coil? You will not receive many weak signals until the antenna is properly tuned. It is likely that the

See my web page: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mike.dennison/index/lf/gallery/dl3zid.htm for an illustration of the difference between QRSS3 and QRSS10 on a marginal signal. Mike, G3XDV ==
I have moved my QRSS3 test transmission a little LF to 136.310kHz to avoid QRM to those listening for F8BOJ's QRSS60 test. Antenna current 10% less than last night due to rain-soaked trees. Mike ==
I will be running a test transmission tonight transmiting 'XDV' using QRSS60 on 136.3188kHz from now (1930UTC) to around 0900 tomorrow morning. Mike, G3XDV ==
Ed, Thanks for the report. Here is a screenshot of the first part of your transmission. Thanks also to Lubos, OK2BVG for the report. I will try to be QRV on QRSS10 at around 1700 most evenings. Mike,
Just completed a two-way QRSS10 contact with RU6LA, QRB 2823km. Thanks, Ed, for your patience. This is our 2nd QSO - the first was in 2005, also using QRSS10. Pic attached of part of Ed sending my ca
I will beacon again overnight using QRSS60 on 136.3198kHz. The icy and dry weather is very good for the antenna current which is 10% up on normal, but it seems conditions were poor last night. I note
