Dear
all. 1515 utcI have just
worked Wolf DF0WD with 100% copy using Jason both ways. Wolf was running
50W and I was running 150W.
Confirm the above QSO
Wolf's signals were audible here but
a heavy noise level would have rendered CW copy very difficult.
Wolf's signal was S6 with me and would
be no problem to copy on normal CW, Dave's signal S9 and needed attenuation
at my end.
He would have been a good "O" copy
on QRSS3.It is very nice to leave the receiver running and come back from
the kitchen with a nice cup of tea to find the next over printed on the
screen, very lazy way of working!
Its a pity you mentioned the word LAZY,
another LAZYMANS CW MODE but interesting to watch
I still think apart from normal CW
the next best thing is QRS CW. It can be copied aurally when strong
enough, and viewed on a screen directly by the human without another layer
of decoding, which is required with these other modes.
It is the same problem with morse
readers that are in use, the raw CW can be copied directly by the
receiving operator manually but by
using another decoding layer by the morse reader, often the copy
is corrupted or garbled and takes
some time to recover. Jason although trying to overcome this problem by
using a tone generated system still allows garbled copy when hit by noise,
and the random noise
does generate tones unfortunately
that are permitted to be copied.
I do not suppose there is a perfect
solution, even with forward error correction transmissions, there are corruptions
although minimual but their problem is grinding to a halt virtually because
if the received signal bit does not meet the criteria then it could take
hours to receive this bit of info before the next bit is transmitted
etc.
Its all good fun and thats about it.
