LF / 2200 meter community,
I am a little afraid to ask this question. I don't want to start a
"war" here. But...
No problem!
What is the feeling in the LF community about a QSO (DFCW or QRSS)
which takes more than a single night to complete? Is this OK or will
it be seen as cheating?
Also no problem.
The problem is, you need to find someone on the other side who is
motivated to try the wholw night.
It is more likely to do it in JT9-10 or so.
Or in EbNaut, if there has been a clear definition of the parameters and
the start time and repeat sequence.
I am a very conservative operator but I cannot think of any reason
why a QSO spanning a few nights would not be perfectly OK. To me it
seems that's just taking advantage of available propagation and
(very slow) modes which can get information across.
There is a rule that there must be no information exchanged by the QSO
partners on another channel (like this reflector).
I do think that if the operators stop for some nights, the QSO
should reset to the beginning because that is a new attempt.
I'm trying to find out what the community feels about this. I want
to be a respectable member of this community, not an invading
outlaw. ;-) If a QSO taking a few nights is considered evil, I won't
do it. Now is your chance to educate me.

We don't need no education :-)
