Hi Mauro,
I am not sure you are asking the right question. Do you think that
digital modes will give you better reception or more stations than
QRSS? If you can't receive other QRSS stations, you may not get any
improvement from data modes.
When you refer to DK7FC's beacon, do you mean QRSS3 or the slower DX
mode like QRSS60 (60 second dots)? If you can only receive Stefan's
QRSS60, it would be much better to try to improve your station than
changing modes. With a good station, you should be able to receive
several QRSS3 stations around Europe (137.700kHz), and QRSS60
stations from the US and Russia (around 137.777kHz).
If you have a high local noise, a directional antenna may work better
than the mini-whip. Is the mini-whip set up correctly? It is possible
for noise to be accidentally introduced onto the coax.
The only advantage to be gained from data modes is that you can
'receive' the stations when you are away from the shack. There is
little, if any improvement in the reception of very weak signals.
If you would like me to transmit a QRSS3 beacon for you, please let
me know.
