The spam situation is getting out of hand totally.
For every LF message I am now getting about 30 spam msgs daily.
I delete immediately but it takes a lot
of time to download this rubbish. I am not sure what the most appropriate
action would be but something needs to be done. Its the same old stuff over and
over again every day flooding the system.
On 136 khz LF these days I am interested in
new countries to try and get the score up but little or nothing seems to be
coming along, virtually no normal CW activity old or new, just the few that
normally appear on QRS every weekend.
It is not encouraging for anyone new thinking about
getting on LF with all the effort that is required. I am interested in
transatlantic QSO'S direct on 136 khz and xband but that seems to have fizzled
out also. The BEACON mode and some QRS seems
to be the only thing at present and although useful is a backward
step.
I would favour direct QSO mode especially on
normal CW and with some perserverence some positive results are possible
especially across to VE. In the past my signal was perfectly
readable on QRS 1 by VE1ZJ and VE1ZZ during DEC
2001.
This is almost hand sent manual speed.
Unfortunately John and Jack have gone QRT on LF so that
approach has ceased to exist as a possibility and no one else
seems interested or cannot work CW.
