There was a initial setting at the top of the
band for wspr , along with other beacon
and data modes , leaving the rest of the
band clear and maximise the distance
from live cw working etc
however as you point out, qrss
now also sits mid band as well , I don't
think we need to look too far to spot
the origins of the problem though , as you
note , Tweedledum and Tweedledee
have been running a Iceland dog-bone competition
over the last days
As for a few 'Hot Dog' TA
activity's , it can bee see that wspr provides
sufficient gain for TA and other dumb beacon
dx'ing on 500 , qsb patterns
preventing ultra long qrss decodes as
noted years ago...
Food ? anyone for a Hot-Dog ?

Subject: LF: 472kHz Band QRSS
Who started the trend to have QRSS in the middle of
the 'new' band? There are two extremely strong signals there now as I write
this. I would have thought any mode that requires long plain carriers would be
better suited to near the band edges.
Three German operators suggested a band plan during
late September, in which QRSS was near the bottom of the band. As far as I
remember this plan was met with some hostility.
It has been suggested that people will not stick to
a band plan. I find this hard to believe, particularly in respect of QRSS, if
they want their signals to be found.
Another problem I would suggest, is just how many
know how to measure/calculate their EIRP? I have noticed several contributors to
this reflector refer to ERP.
Food for thought?
