[Lowfer] Reason for QRSS-180 transmission at lowFER Beacon " XR "

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hello all:

I am posting this on the LF mailing list also just for those 
who may not read the lowfer mailing list. Certainly not that 
I expect to be heard across the Atlantic, but there may be 
some Canadian stations willing to look for a weak signal.

I have recently changed to a QRSS-180 equivalent transmission
on my 1 watt lowFER beacon on 1750 meters. The best DX while
in QRSS-60 was 1185 miles ( 1907 KM ). Recent tests with a couple
of operators has shown that the QRSS-180 length will maintain
the signal when QRSS-60 looses it. I'm sure it can be seen that 
I am hoping to extend that distance. Anyone willing to take the
time to look for the signal; I will certainly appreciate your
efforts. The signal will be best viewed with ARGO in QRSS-120
set for SLOW scroll, or Spectrum Lab set approriately. 
SPECTRAN will work also in its QRSS-30 mode with the speed 
control set to a very slow scroll rate.
When viewed in a slow mode, the letters " X R " will be evident
if the signal can be seen at your QTH.

Thank you for your time reading this.... 
73, and a good weekend to all:
