Thanks Hans, I had a ball. Pride refused to let me ask you to QRS. (Although
I probably should've, hihi.) It forced me to put down my pencil and just
listen. Same time next Monday sounds fine to me. Thanks again. :-)

My apologies...... I always try to be more deliberate, then I get in
the middle of a thought and the damned paddles just speed up of their
own accord. I'll put a big fat choke on the keyline next Monday to slow
it down.

It's all good. "No pain, no gain." Got an e-mail from Jim, N2EY...heard you,
didn't hear me and you couldn't hear him...ah, the comedy of it.

Sorry I missed Jim. I had a lot of DSP working to isolate you from that
buzzy signal from W5TVW. He was actually about 625 Hz off our QRG, but
that rough buzz on his signal was washing over you. Likely would have
heard N2EY without the DSP laundering I was doing.

CU next week.

Why don't you call CQ and wait and see who answers?

That's precisely what I did. I transmitted "CQ RRAP CQ RRAP DE K0HB
K0HB" 7045.221 KC and WA2SI answered me.

Sunuvagun!

Hopefully, this will end the oft-quoted myth that CW "always gets

True enough - although in the example above, the medium of choice for
QSP was email. The laws of propagation obviously do not favour one
mode over another - contrary to the belief of a few....

Quoted by whom?

No mode "always gets through". But Morse/CW often gets through when
none of the other available modes can.

IIRC, 7037 was the QRG of choice last time, and it worked well. We
only need a few Hz anyway...
