Just to show that you are NOT a sad old.
I am probably younger than you !!!!!!!! I think you were a late starter.
twit with a very large chip on
your shoulder, why don't you offer your unreserved congratulations to
those who, unlike yourself, have the operating skill
The slow morse and Wobble mode used is computer/machine generated and
received on a monitor screen and recorded. The operator goes to sleep and
comes back later to see if there is a result.
and technical
Using ex commercial Decca transmitters only needs a Novice.
The present approach to an atlantic qso needs virtually no Technical or
Operating skills.
The modes used are generated and received by a computer or other machine
and only needs an operator(monkey man) to switch it on or off.
Credit should go to those that are using equipment constructed by
themselves, transmitters, converters, and efficient antennas and the
ability to send/receive manual morse code at a speed of 20
wpm plus.
For any radio amateur with a class A licence that cannot fulfill the above
requirements is an
appliance operator.
I hope these observations satisfy your concerns, but try and keep cool, to
avoid premature expiry.
ability to achieve a trans Atlantic QSO on LF?
73 to all, Tom G3OLB
