It seems to me that if some Beaconing stations
were on straightforward CW instead of the interesting but esoteric
computerised QRSSS visual modes then newcomers (to LF) could at
least identify what they were recieving and assess/improve their RX
and antenna arrangements. So far I have heard one amateur station in several
months and even that was not with a BFO but beating with the shush-bip-bip
shush bip-bip shush bip-bip signal which permeates the band and drives me
up the wall if I leave the rx running in the hope of hearing an amateur signal..
. Needless to say he disappeared before I could begin to do any experimenting
with RX settings.
Peeps are about to tell me my rx's are
not selective enough, I know, but it would be nice to have a signal on which to
work.!!

"The stations operating on these modes are
audible with me and possibly others and a proper QSO is
possible, in fact these countries have been worked before on CW
many times, so what is the point."
EXPERIMENTATION! That's the point :)
To me it's not about the message it is about the
medium...
