Two stations in the log today via ionoscatter, with the big Es yesterday and continued low solar activity it seemed likely to be a good day to try even though it is only April.
11:12 I5WBE 519 539 JN53jr
11:48 OK1DFC 319 559 JN79gw
Signal came right up to 539 from OK1DFC but I was already sending him a feeble report that didn't really do the signal justice.
Thanks Enrico and Zdenek.
I am always interested to try this mode, I use 1 minute CW periods and always transmit on the "ODD" minute e.g. 11:11.00-59 or 11:47.00-59 etc. I send normal RST reports, prefaced by a "r" (like "r539") if I copied your call and report OK. Unlike FSK procedure I ALWAYS need (or send) a final rrr!
Hope to work many more qso's this way in 2005.
