Called CQ in WSQ mode for hour and a half with no takers.. I will run the Sounding Beacon overnight..
" WSQCall, a chat mode with -27 dB SNR sensitivity, and a typing speed of 5.5 WPM! "
https://www.qsl.net/zl1bpu/MFSK/WSQweb.htm - to read about WSQ Keyboard Chat mode..
I used to operate CW - before emotional health problems made it a " thing in my past " .. WSQ is a good mode
for real information exchange QSO's .. Not canned messages.. you type what you want to say, and send it !
I will run WSQ in a beacon fashion ( not what it is intended for ) overnight to offer the opportunity for anyone
curious about the mode, the chance to try it on receive.. I will send a 53 second message every 10 minutes,
at 00, 10, 20, 30, etc. the remaining 9 minutes my station will be receiving so if you want to send something,
If I receive you, I will see it on the screen in the morning.. ( station is not set up for Queries )..
Set your dial to 476 KHz - USB with tone offset at 1500 Hz..
Thanks for reading, and 73 to all:
