Re: LF: WSQ Frequencies?

["Markus Vester" <markusvester@aol.com>]

Hi Chris,

 

the audio frequency band processed and generated by WSQ software is 1000 - 1066 Hz. In the associated readme, Murray ZL1BPU recommends a slot "500 Hz below WSPR", which would correspond to "dial" frequencies of 472.2 and 136.0 kHz, ie RF bands above 473.2 and 137.0 kHz.

 

As my LO is fixed to 135.5 kHz "dial", for simplicity I went on air yesterday transmitting WSQ between 136.5 and 136.566 kHz, and Joe DF2JP also got on. In relatively heavy QRN,  we could see some bits of each other but not good enough for a QSO. Stefan DK7FC could also read some of our transmissions. Today condx look a lot quieter, and I have just decoded two complete calls on the same QRG:

Hi All LF,

Anybody know what frequencies on 472kHz and 137kHz band to monitor for anybody trying the WSQ mode?

Thanks, 73, Chris, G4AYT.
