Hi Con
Thank you for a very interesting QSO mode.
Seems that the word “beacon” was replaced for “Sounding
message” ;-)
Anyway this feature, and also the commands you
can send to an active station and get back your signal
report automatically for example
makes this mode to work for QSO and also to be
valid as a no operator present mode. Not just another WSPR
of course
And for QSO, something more interesting that
the rigid JT variations and probably more fun. No internet
needed and no PC clock acccuracy
I’m Rx already and will be Tx also this evening
PS: We have a group here working with
communications in caves with magnetic antennas at 38KHz.
Actually using CW with Android Apps
to key and decodeand thinking about trying PSK.
Bet that this mode would be very convenient for them

Hi Hugh
I am also transmitting now, at 10 minute intervals, on dial
frequency 474.0kHz USB. The grey line is well and truly passed
by now but you never know!

Here in
ZL we have been using 472.5 kHz USB dial frequency to
keep away from an AM broadcast intermod product on 477
kHz that affects reception of a Wellington station, but
474.0 kHZ USB sounds like a sensible frequency. It is
just below the WSPR segment so should not affect WSPR
reception unduly.
There are only two stations in ZL who are active, and it
is an excellent daytime chat mode, with groundwave
extending at least out to 400km (for 1/2 to 1 watt
radiated).
It is early days for this mode so any feedback is more
than welcome. A G/ZL QSO on 630m would be great but
probably unlikely. But even one-way reception would be a
milestone. I will reset my receiver to 474 kHz USB and
see what there is to see!
