Re: LF: ZL QSO

Hi Luis

I hope you have fun with the new mode. If you or anyone has any ideas to improve WSQCall, please let me know. Already I understand split frequency working would be useful over there. Here in ZL the user base is very small and what works here may not necessarily work over there on 630m.

I am now listening on 474.00kHz USB dial frequency.

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!
