Hi Murray; Nice to hear from you. I am at work at the moment, but I will certainly
compile all the information you request later today and send it to you direct..
Yes, I am using version 1.20 .. 73 for now, and have a great day:

 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,
 Murray ZL1BPU
