Re: LF: Callsigns

["mal hamilton" <g3kevmal@talktalk.net>]

Anything slower than QRS 3 leads to problems in QSB, some of the dashes break up and we get gibberish QRS10 is about the limit.

Some use QRS 120 and 240 ie take 240 sec dot that is 4 minute dot and 12minute dash, this is a long time and when QSB hits the whole dot/dash train gets chopped and appears as irregular traces and garbled, this leads to guesswork by the RX station, especially when someone has indicated a frequency that they will use.

It has all been discussed in the past so the above information is a consensus of opinion by experienced LF/MF operators.

also, QRS is a real time mode with immediate exchange of information between two or more stations and Attended by operators at each end.

I hope you are satisfied by this observation

Mal,

So you've no strong views on slow QRS modes. That's good..

QRS 3 is manageable for a full call but when it gets to QRS 60, 120, 240 and
480 it is pathetic and unnecessary because on LF/MF  when  QSB hits the
whole dots/dashes are broken up and meaningless.ie gibberish
Still some insist so what can one do ????????????????
I ignore anything slower than QRS 10 even if it comes from outer Mongolia !!
