Not to mention Mal
The technical entry point is being raised
all the time as well , why should new
modes exceed the capability of most stations
requiring them have to have GPS
locked frequency and time standards , phase
continuous carrier generation coupled with
the ability to generate complex modulation's
?
When even radiating a signal on 500 is going to be a
challenge ? may be we should of called Opera 'limbo' as
it technical requirement entry point is so low ,
its well under the under the new-wave tech-no
radar , but punches well above it's weight .... )

tnx for the info.
The excitement of 136 Khz has long gone when there
was no Internet involvement. I used to call CQ on CW or QRSS and QSX 7033
Kcs. The excitement started when I got replies from the USA and Canada to
the West and the Russians the East.
and conducted a proper two way QSO, plus lots of
CW QSO'S around EU
There is no pleasure churning out a BEACON
24/7 unattended and hoping that someone reports reception via the
Internet.
I only Transmit if there is a chance of getting
a two way QSO. It worked well back then so that is what I expect
now.
The same applies to MF. That band has also turned into a
BEACON 24/7 operation most of the time.

Look forward to seeing your signal in KL7 someday Mal - hasnt happened
yet sadly.
To date Ive never seen LF/MF signals from Eu that wouldnt require a
little more than ear/brain decode processing
Laurence in
VE5
LF es MF
Is there anyone able to QSO these days on either CW or
QRSS on the 136 or 472 Khz bands, or where appropriate xband.
I am not interested in BEACON 24/7 hoping for a HIT
somewhere in the world.even though at this time of year propagation is
optimum.
I would prefer to go back to the past where QSO mode
was the normal procedure and not QSL via internet.
At present I would expect to be able to QSO with KL7
es YV if they were suitably equipped to Transmit on QRSS 30 -
60
I do not think anyone from the UK or EU
has made a QSO on LF/MF in recent years across
to North America or Russia on either CW or QRSS
