Mike,
Let me backtrack, as I didn't state the situation fully in yesterday's
message. I was not trying to equate DFCW with 90 second elements to
QRSS30! The issue is only about appearance on the screen. Most of the
Argo shots I've seen of the 137.778 window have been set to 30 second
dots, SLOW. This mode sharpens things up a bit, and gives a longer
screen time. But a signal only made up of 30 second elements, such as
DFCW, looks a little "thin." <g> So I've been lengthening the elements
for the "XES" callsign to 90 seconds, and the result has looked good on
these screens. It also better fits the hours-long screens that Hartmut
produces. Given the preponderance of dots in "XES", the length of the
callsign is similar to QRSS30.
That's all...I wasn't attempting to make any statement about the
equivalence of the data rates.
