[600MRG] W-eak S-ignal Q-so mode on 630m (WSQCall)

[Neil Klagge]

 “w0yse” will be running WSQCall pretty much 24/7 (but, not TX-ing while I am away from the house) on a USB dial frequency of 472.5 kHz for those who want to try this program at their stations. If you decode my beacon, you can trigger my station to give you a signal report by typing the following (all lower case) w0yse? which asks my program to send out a signal report. If I am in the shack and see that you are decoding me, I might try a QSO with you, if you like.

Note that call signs in this program are case sensitive so there must be a perfect match with whatever an operator uses in the callsign box (under OPTIONS or TOOLS, depending on which version you are using). Another command you can use is w0yse@ which will transmit my QTH info.

In order to decode a station, both must be set to the SAME speed (unlike FSQcall). I will likely be at a speed of .5 except when in QSO with a station with good prop between us.

You can find a link to the program on this page: http://www.qsl.net/zl1bpu/MFSK/WSQweb.htm where you will also find information on how and what the program is all about. It is a QSO mode program that, although slow printing (about 5 wpm), works down to about -28 dB similar to JT9, but with much more flexibility.

I also have an internet chat page to help you get it working. Go to http://www.dal.net:9090 and type in your call (or a nickname) and select #wsq as the chat channel.

Thanks and 73
