Thanks for all the reports from 30 Nov. - 1 Dec. 2015 QRSS30 testing.No reports came in from anyone in CO :< .
The propagation is in control of my little 600 meter station.
i am really just a 'city lot station', no 60 foot towers or clear spaces around here.
My 30 foot wire antenna is just in a tree.
i got reports and capture screens from a bunch of you all.
The "RW" Beacon message is "RW RW RW RW RW...(which is the suffix of my ham call w0rw)..
followed by WA2XRM WA2XRM" and then "DE WA2XRM" in 16 wpm CW.
The FCC would not give me a vanity my call (wa2xRW).
A lot of you got the entire sequence 'RW DE WA2XRM' without any QSB holes.
That is about 45 minutes of solid copy!
1 minute of solid copy at 20 wpm would get you an Extra Class license. KB5NJD/WD2XIQ, John, TX was getting good copy on my signal.(All capture screens had cyclic drift with about an 8 minute period).N3CXV/WH2XRR, Bill, MD captured all my call sign.VE6/KL7L, XPQ/XDW, Laurence in AB got a good signal.VE7BDQ/VX9BDQ John BC, good signals.KU7Z, Mark, UT good signals, "Pounding In !".Transmission ended at 1530z, 1 Dec. 2015.Thanks for all the work you did to capture my sigs.Paul wa2xrmColorado
