>From what little I've experimented with this mode, this is not
entirely true. Since it is received by integrating the signal over
time, as long as there is an occasionally detectable signal, the
"probability that we're receiving a signal" increases. Yes, it's
useless by ear, but assuming you have a sufficiently stable receiver
and proper decoding software, it is surprising what can be received.
On the other hand, for non-beacon usage, a 16,000 minute "QSO" is
maybe a bit ridiculous =)
