If you think that was a bad show, you should
of tried introducing DATA to 500 , everything
from news group spamming to on air jamming
took place , it was going to be the end of the world
as 'we knew it JIM' even when the band was
totally unused , any sign of pattering on
the grabbers caused by the evil
dispersal algorithm's was met with a
volley of cw-cq's and shouts of pirate
, due to making test broadcasts .. who would of
though experimentation was such fun !
However as time passed , the end
results are now being used extensively on LF
and MF : )

That's it, Geri!
We are coming from LF to MF, so MF is not
that spectacular. But if you're coming from HF to MF, that must be much more
exciting and new to explore such a "low" band wher all the stuff "must" be
homemade.
If they will write a report about their experiment and results,
they will cause more interest for others, which makes the band even more alive.
So the results can only be positive, even without 100s of QSOs.

John,
A WSPR transmission
for the same length of time would gather much more usefuly information than
calling CQ with no hope of hearing any replies?
I think it all depends on what we expect to get out of our
amateur radio activity. What would a WSPR signal reveal other than that what
everybody who ever had talked to the marine guys already knew: that a MF
signal can be heard a few thousand miles away.
Here we have a group of people setting up a fieldday station under less
than optimal conditions, not experienced with MF operation at all yet - and
had trouble to receive - so what? How long did it take us "experienced" guys
to be where we are today? Did it really kill some 'valuable' QSOs tonight that
we will never have another chance to have again? Just relax, the band is still
there tomorrow, sooner or later we will all have contacted each other numerous
times, in CW, WSPR, QRSS or whatever mode.
By the way: I had a QSO with Bert, DF2PI who was operating DK0SWF this
evening, and I was able to hear and feel his excitement to explore a new
band.
Did we all forget on how we started, on how we had to make our own
experiences when we began and what fun we had?
