Hi Todd:

Thanks for listening. JASON SLOW takes 190.4 seconds to transmit
1 Character, which I would think would be comporable to a slow
QRSS signal, although I have no idea which speed it would compare
too. I am stuck in the LF mindset of the slower the better, which
may not be the best on 160 meters. At LF the signals stay, and fade
for long periods, but at HF, even on 160, the fades, and reception
periods are much shorter. I need to try JASON FAST sometime. 
In that mode, a signal peak of a couple of minutes might decode
several times. .... As you can tell, I'm learning this stuff as I
go along.
