Oh dear Mal! I'm afraid I must, therefore, admit to being a British citizen living in the country of my birth and consequently subject to ITS laws and regulations. I also have to accept that in pract
That was a political decision, the GPO, BBC and others were afraid a mere radio amateur might get ahead of them at the time. The same criteria did not apply in other countries like the USA and others
Dear Stefan, You are, in the end, correct and I am sure that Mal G3KEV will already be writing his response in support of you email, HI. However, my own experience has been that WSPR has made possibl
Spot on Rik And why are those who build gear from scratch, use simple antennas, embrace technology and try new modes, also interested in CW, QSO's, the experiments of those who build powerful PA's, h
Mal, a "preferred mode" is actually any mode that works in the current circumstances. Please choose your words more carefully, Alberto is one of the few gentlemen on this planet that has given us wel

Andy At least my discussion and observations about radio operators versus appliance operators has provoked some further analysis and comments by yourself and others. The beauty of CW and variations o
I suggest you go to Google and put "Alberto di Bene" in the search criteria before you critise and beleive that failure to have a qso with you is a failure to contribute to LF/MF regards peter G8AF
There is an absolute limit to signalling efficiency, determined by Shannon in 1948 of -1.64dB S/N (normalised bandwidth) WSPR/WSJT are within about 3 - 4dB of the limit, so we'll only ever get this
Ok Klaus , Well yes for me I have no problem , my cw rx is not as good as tx hi but its ok and data is just as much fun as well ..... the problem is when you have spent all your life operating a radi

Brian Long time...glad to see you're still here. What are you up to on LF / MF? Good point. Even a dead carrier conveys information...just not from the transmitting end. Jay -- Original Message -- Fr
