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
