I saw GI8AYZ on QRS testing yesterday with a good
strong audible signal, also OM2TW on QRS audible.
Why QRS with good strong signals perfectly workable
on CW.
A lot of LF ops have deserted the band because lack
of normal CW, some years back when the 136 khz band started, there was an
abundance of CW and most managed to make a QSO. QRS is useful when everything
else fails, but surely it is more sensible to try CW for a fast QSO first
instead of a method that takes ages to exchange a signal report. The majority
of QRS activity that I observe is unnecessary because the signals are
perfectly audible and workable on CW, even signals from antennas in small back
gardens are perfectly audible here. Improving the station with more TX output
and a more efficient antenna is a better approach than the LAZY MANS CW (QRS-VY
SLOW)
