[600MRG] W7IUV 2200m & 630m operations

[Murray Greenman]

CW? What's that? I've not used Morse seriously for 30 years. But I do 
accept that it's a lot easier to transmit with the sort of gear we have 
on these bands.

Seriously though Bill, the performance of conventional Morse on 630m and 
below just doesn't compare with the modern modes.

WSPR is a great tool, but the mode for me is FSQCall, since you can have 
decent QSOs with signal strengths easily 15 dB weaker than CW. Yes, 
sure, you need a computer, but it is a relatively simple mode to 
operate, and with fixed calling channels, you don't even need to tune 
around. Better that than trying to run 15 dB more power, or being 
severely limited in range!

73,
