[600MRG] WSQ QSO's at KU4XR 3-31-18

[Murray Greenman]

Andy,
Thanks for the information about your WSQ activity. Fascinating! I would 
like to learn more details.

Since I'm not conversant with where the stations you list are, could you 
give me some indication of where they are relative to you, and what 
distances are involved? I imagine time zones would be a big factor. It's 
our experience here that in order to work VK on 630 metres means rather 
late nights!

Also, it's not entirely clear what mode the operators were using. I see 
some of your exchanges have partial call signs, some have no checksums, 
others use capital letters, others repeat their call signs in the body 
of the message. Perhaps this is simply unfamiliarity with the WSQCall 
mode. Could you confirm that you are using WSQCall V1.20? If you are, 
could you send me your Message Log and Locator Log? And what exact dial 
frequency are you using?

I'm really impressed with all the activity you have there. Here, it's a 
good night if I work one station 300 km away and maybe hear or work a VK 
2000 km away. There are just so few stations here on 630 metres.

73,
