>From Dave G3YMC
I gather from later mails that the tests between G3LDO and G3XDV may have
been on QRSS. If that were the case then the interrupted carriers I heard
on Tuesday and Wednesday may well have been them, and would have been Q5
copy on normal CW (admittedly buried somewhat in the noise).
No, Dave, apart from one short transmission from me (copied by
G3NYK) it was all at about 8-10WPM. We were both, however,
using Spectrogram in order to be able to dig deeper into the noise
than our ears could. A useful technique is to use both eyes and ears
at the same time!
Point to note - identification in normal CW at frequent intervals would
have helped very much in this case.
Yes, when using slow CW, or indeed PSK31, it is important (though
easy to forget) to send callsigns at normal speed. It is a legal
requirement in the UK, at least every 15 minutes.
