Stefan;
As I said-band is fuller now than used to be! I used to run a KW about 45 W ERP 100% time with WSPR2. It would make occasional SV8 decodes along with almost all western Europeans. But since last year have been told to cut back to 30% time on and still I heard murmurs like "he already worked everybody 50 times over he needs more"?!!! I would tell Jay and Jay told me keep operating but run 25-30% time on-that that was fair.
It's OK-I can understand that and yes am sure is same with you. You operate 50% on WSPR and it is fortunate that the 50% falls always on same quarter hour. Otherwise there is many nights no one else on to give sigs for T/A.
I have to say, probably like you, worked most everything on 500 band and if go there run at reduced time on or more to QRP. We have plenty else going on [new LF-VLF-etc] so works out for everybody just fine-Bob

G et all;
Things have changed over this pasted year or so. Many more new
stations have come on and these newbies are running lower power and
RXers that may not be up to what some of the veteran ops are using.
There really isn't allot of room for QRO in the 630 meter band
Do you get complaints? What is the argumentation? What do they say?
Same as here? 10000s of crashed air planes due to NDB interference?
Overloaded RX because your signal is 30 dB above the noise in 1 Hz NBW?
One day the A-Team will come and shoot down the antenna and PA,

Or is it maybe just envy, sometimes?
I assume Jay doesn't see a problem when you go QRO sometimes, like
Markus doesn't when i do. And i do not when Markus does or DK6SX/p on
MF or DK2DB. It's just all fine :-)
