[Lowfer] XGR QSO Tonight

[chastant]

de Lloyd W3NF

This was copied with the DominoEX program and using RF Space SDRIQ unit for 
receive..I did not seem to be getting good copy with Multipsk on the 
DominoEx so switched to the DominoEx program..may have been just fade at the 
time..

This seemed to be a solid good copy..no hickups..


.XGR/2 DE XGR/3 R GE JAY. YES, SLOWER. U HAD BIG FADE, BUT CPY FINE. 300W 
HR, USUAL. HW? BKnai/3 de XGR/2 R Had power way down from earlier test. Now 
up to 400 watts. TX and RX on 90' vertical. You went through several deep 
fades without a lost character. Not bad! Wonder what the faster versions are 
like...HW? BKGt....XGR/2 DE XGR/3 R DECODER STAYING SYNCED SO FAR. UR LOUDER 
THAN FIRST TIME! MIN SNR NOT AS GOOD ON FASTER VERSIONS ACCORDING TO 
MULTIPSK DOCS, SO THIS SHOULD BE BEST. HW? BKzn...XGR/3 de XGR/2 R FB JOHN. 
DECODER BETTER HERE THAT LAST OVER. HARD TO SAY BUT ALL CAPS MAY BE SLIGHTLY 
FASTER. GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE SWITCH ON YOUR NEXT TRANSMISSION BKkeB aQOn 
=nqe


and this PSKFEC31 was from the Multipsk program...

likewise pretty nice copy also hr...


TWNSOLNEU THIS IS DEFINITELY FASTER!!! HAVE TO GET MYBTBAIN ENGAGED. GIVE 
EXTRA CALLUP WHEN YOU COME BACK, AS I HAVE TO RETUNE MY RX SETUP. WE2XGR/2 
DE WE2XGR/3 K(CQRSEEEISAH GEMLT.......XGR/3 DE XGR/2 R FB COPY ON  PSKFEC31. 
YES MUST CLIP ALONG TO STAY AHEAD OF THE CURSOR. POWER HERE IS 4ØØ WATTS - 
MADE SURE TO CHECK THAT THIS TIME! WX HERE IS 32 DEGREES AND CLEAR. FORECAST 
FOR COLD WEATHER THE NEXT FEW DAYS SO HOPEFULLY CONDX WILL BE QUIET ON LF 
AND MF. LIKE THE SOUND OF THIS MODE BETTER...IT JUST SOUNDS FAST!!! HW? BKGB 
A  AP N.....WE2XGR/2 DE WE2XGR/3 RR MY POWER WAS LOW ON LAST XMSN. JUST 
CRANKED IT UP. WX ABOUT SAME HERE. HAVE LOTS OF OUTSIDE WORK TO DO TMW 
BEFORE THE "STORM OF THE CENTURY" SUNDAY NIGHT. YES, THIS MODE DOES TWEET 
ALONG NICELY. THE DOMINO SOUND IS MUSICALLY OFFENSIVE, JUST DOESN'T FIT THE 
TONAL SCHEME OF THE WESTERN WORLD. MIGHT BE OK IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THOUGH. G 
THIS MODE ALSO HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF VERY QUICK DECODER SYNC. WE2XGR/2 DE 
XGR/3 KNEDTNDEN 28M..........XGR/3 DE XGR/2 R FB SOLID COPY - NO MISSED 
CHARACTERS, HOWEVER, THERE WEREN'T ANY FADES OR QRN TO BUST IT UP. THINK MY 
MONEY IS ON THIS MODE. OKAY ON THE "STORM OF THE CENTURY". WASN'T AWARE THAT 
WAS ON THE HORIZON. GUESS I'LL HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE WX HYPE FORCAST. YES, 
THE SYN UP OF THE DETECTOR SEEMS TO BE ROCK SOLID ON THIS MODE. DOMINO 
REMINDS ME OF PSKAM1Ø WHERE YOU'RE NEVER SURE YOU CAN COUNT ON THE THING 
LOCKING UP. WELL GUESS QRU. THANKS FOR THE CONTACT AND TEST OF TWO MORE 
MODES. 73 AND GE WE2XGR/3 DE WE2XGR/2 BKGRSIAEU....WE2XGR/2 DE WE2XGR/3 RR U 
HAD ONE GOOD FADE, AND ONE REALLY DEEP ONE WHERE I LOST A COUPLE OF CHARS. 
THAT'S THE FIRST REAL DROPOUT I'VE SEEN. I'M GOING TO BEACON IN MULTIPSK'S 
PSK1Ø MODE FOR A WHILE ON THIS FREQUENCY. NOT PSKAM1Ø, JUST STRAIGHT PSK1Ø. 
THERE'S NO ERROR CORRECTION, BUT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE SLOWER BIT RATE. 73 
ES TNX VY MUCH FOR THE QSOS. WILL BE IN TOUCH ABT SUNDAY NITE. WE2XGR/2 DE 
WE2XGR/3 GE
