Congratulations to Kuni and Toni, and thanks Mike
for sorting out the relevant screenshots.
Yes faster modes may give a powerful station a
better chance to get a complete message across. Already on Monday evening,
dots from HE3OM have definitely been identified on the JA7NI grabber while it
was running in 84 mHz "QRSS-10" resolution.
But for the likes of ourselves who are able to
produce a marginal SNR at best, I think the only option
is trying to produce a few traces at 90 seconds or slower
modes.
Best regards, and good luck to all,
Markus (DF6NM)

Last night HE3OM put a
good signal into JA7NI's grabber at JA dawn..
UA4WPF can also be seen, but
much weaker than previously. See
attached.
Also attached is the same
time on RN3AGC's grabber which shows that
DF6NM and myself were also
calling, but we could not compete with
HE3OM's ERP which I estimate as
15-20dB up on us.
The JA picture also supports my theory that QRS120 is
not a practical
speed for real DX. There are long periods where the signal
is well
above the noise, but QSB prevents the whole callsign being received.
At that strength, QRS30 would probably have still been viable and
allowed a couple of full calls to be read.
Congratulations to HE3OM
on what may be an amateur world record on
136, though with an estimated ERP
much bigger than most amateurs have
available.
