Thanks Andy for the fine report! Indeed Ebnaut (15 char, 1 s symbols 8K19A), intended for Domenico's auto-decoder but not successful today.

I am now calling QRSS-4 on 137705 Hz.

Best 73,
Markus

Hello dear Marcus, just for info.

 

I was looking at WSPR LF windows and I see your transmission (EbNaut I think ?) strating at 1100 UT and a second transmission strarting at 1201 UT during about 16 minutes, on 137490.

 

I cannot decode this mode here, but your signal was good and 569 aural at 564 km.

 

Best 73.

 

Andy F6CNI.

Dear LF,

lightning activity has eased off in Germany so I pushed out the LF TX ant again. I intend to send a 15-char EbNaut invitation on 137490 starting 13 UT, and will look out for some QRSS-3 activity around 137700 thereafter.

Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)

Betreff: LF: QRSS activity this weekend

As noted by Andy, G4JNT, recently, this week is the 20th anniversary
of the very first Slow CW (now called QRSS) transmission which was
between G3PLX and Andy on the old 73kHz band.

To commemorate this I will be using QRSS on the 136kHz band today,
Saturday and Sunday.

Daytime and early evening I will be using QRSS3 (3 second dot length)
and occasionally QRSS10 (10s dots) on or near 137.690kHz looking for
two-way contacts.

Late evening and nighttime, I will transmit my callsign on
136.1722kHz using QRSS60, each transmission starting on the odd
hours, ie 2100, 2300, 0100 . . . .

Reports on this activity would be helpful

Anyone needing info on how to receive QRSS could look at ON7YD's web
site or send me an email.

Mike, G3XDV
