Hello Eddie,

the signal is up and down in the QSB, but I had several complete copies of your call is FSK.
With some patience a QSO would be possible.
Just let men know when you want to try.

Hi Rik

That is good news I just checked the e-mail in box as dusk was falling.
I think I left it on QRSS10, I will check. When you get copy I can go to
QRSS3.
In its present state it is just an MEPT, it can be manually key-able I
shall have to sort that one out. If only to please Mal.

I have been modelling my antenna since you did G3XBM's yesterday, I am
not skilled with models on 500KHz at all. It does look that I may have
done a rather good thing by rule of thumb.

Eddie

Eddie,

first traces of your signal showing up, with almost 2 hours to go to
sunset.
Too weak to read anything but I can see the FSK.
Are you interested in a QSO (if the signal comes through this evening) ?

Gary, thanks for that, yes my call is fully identifiable in your
grab. It looks like I changed from QRSS10 back to QRSS3 during the
period of the screenshot.

I always look on your Grabber for my signal in hope. I have not seen
 it yet, being broad band the chances are not so good on the UK
Grabbers.

Hi Eddie,

I have been running SpecLab at QRS10 & have managed to get what
appears to be your signal (200 represents 503.200 kHz), my loc
IO83qo which makes the distance 188.9 km or 117.4 mls. Captured at
1245utc.

Thanks Dave and all the other reporters / lookers. I will leave the
MEPT on all day and until well after dark for Rik and GM.

Dave, yes the modulation is very normal for me, 5 Hz FSK QRSS3. I
will now switch to an odd mod, 5/5/5.

Eddie

Hi, Eddie.

Screenshot attached. You are "O" copy here, and I think the QRB is
about 100 km. The antenna here is a 20m "Tee" at 5m, and the RX is a
 Wandel & Golterman SPM-30 with a 24 Hz IF bandwidth

By the way, you are transmitting a hybrid QRSS-DFCW signal, which
contains elements of both modes!

(With QRSS, one sends dots and dashes on a single frequency, and
drop the carrier between characters, just like regular speed CW.
With Double frequency CW, dots and dashes are equal length, but on
mark and space frequencies, and the carrier drops between letters.)

Hi All

I am running my QRPp MEPT again this morning all reports welcome.
Just a note on receiving the QRSS3. :-

Using Spectran in - Preset QRSS3 - from the - Mode - menu. With the
standard settings and dial on the WSPR dial frequency 502.4KHz my
signal will be around 800 on the Spectran Waterfall.
Spectran will run at the same time as WSPR so those looking for WSPR
 signals can spot the evil Data and evil non qso Visual QRSS at the
same time.

Frequency 503.22KHz

Modulation QRSS3 FSK, mainly, I do vary it, maybe some periods of
5/5/5 Morse

Power 500mW at 50 Ohms

Total current consumption 96mA at 12 Volts

Antenna 6m Top Load Vertical

ERP >1mWatt
