de Jungle Telegraph, (ZL3JT)
Why don't some of you psk'ers get better spectacles next time! I spent far too much valuable time pushin' buttons at people with bad eyesight and not seeing my trace from 10000 miles away. I worked Dick in Scotland and he was running 2 watts and a cb antenna! He was just playin' around and gotta hellava surprise when I answered him! I even gave the opposition some help by workin' ol' Jay! Thanks to all those guys and gals who gave me a macro, and made my score respectable, (over 20 grand!) 73s and see ya on my screen! __________________________________________________ Advertise with ZFREE - to find out more click below http://www.zfree.co.nz/about-us/advert.html

As a dedicated QRP'er on PSK (orginally not by choice,
used a PSK-20, now with TS-570DG by choice)with poor attic antennas, the best advice for seeing weak stations: 1)PLEASE turn off the squelch - worst invention in ham software; 2) Use the spectrum display not the waterfall - faster and more sensitive. I use Hamscope 1.4 in always contest mode but as always your mileage will vary. Great contest. Thanks to everyone listening to this peanut whistle and cards will be on the way. ---- 070@... wrote: Yes Duncan, your signal was really good here, but asit is, some people you can call all day and they won't see your trace...and we had a qso, you beaming short path and my beam on the long path...maybe it doesn't matter in our case.. hi.a lot of fun. 73's Erika/DL2AYLspectacles next time!
