Hi Jay
I have heard your signal on 500 khz and a qso would have been possible
provided you could hear me. The Ohio grabber would be useful as an
indicator
when u are active.
Because of my 1W limit condx would need to be good and there has been
suitable openings in the past. If normal speed cw does not work probably
the
next best thing would be QRS 1 sec dot and not more than 3 sec dot max, at
slower QRS speed qsb would be the problem leading to gaps and guesswork.
I managed a QSO perfectly well with VE1ZZ at normal speed cw because I was
able to exchange rst and other info on the peaks of my signal, whereas QRS
would not have worked. It is really being in the right place at the right
time.
Beacon acty would be an indicator for you if propagation was optimum but
unattended beacons would be pointless, if one was not in a position to go
into QSO mode immediately given the right conditions.
To respond immediately a link on 3.5/7 mhz would be useful to indicate
copy
at either end and the link needs to be monitored in real time for a quick
response.
As far as I can see this is the only approach that will work.

Mal...and other T/A enthusiasts
I'm interested in additional W / EU contacts on 500 kHz. To date the only
station I've worked is Finbar ... albeit on three occassions. It would be
helpful if those interested would run periods in beacon mode (normal cw
speed) so that I can listen for your signals. If I can hear your station,
you should be able to hear mine...with the higher ERP from this end.
Setting up a sked for a particular night at a particular time is unlikely
to
produce a QSO - conditions vary widely from day to day, hour to hour and
even minute to minute over this path.
