I call CQ at times on 137.2 khz
using real CW, but seldom get a reply although recently I did get a couple of
replies from DL and OZ. Their observations are that there is too much QRS and
not enough real CW like there used to be.
Most of those that used to be active on LF and are
now QRT have gone because of the lack of CW. Why does the LAZY MANS mode prevail
when most of those using QRS are good enough signals to work normal CW. All the
UA stns active so far including UA9 are all audible with me and could be worked
on CW. Its too easy on QRS just using a finger on the keyboard and sitting back
watching. Even those with ASYMETRICAL EARS surely could manage the odd CW
qso.
