Sam RN6BN,

Last night was not so productive, only a trace received in a capture at 1636
UTC.  Nil in all other captures.

Commenting on QRSS vs DFCW, for beaconing the main benefit of DFCW is that
it has a higher "duty cycle" as it avoids the "long gaps" between characters
and words.  Key up time does little for receiver S/N.  Also the frequency
shift can be useful to distinguish a wanted signal from coherent QRM.  For
DX beaconing into ZL, I suggest DFCW120.  For an attempted QSO, DFCW is much
more productive as it makes much better use of time windows.  Our next
booking at ZL6QH/ZM2E is 19 June, so it seems yopu have time to build a good
receiving antenna, hi hi.

For testing tonight, I suggest using DFCW120.

73, Bob ZL2CA
