AW: [Meteor-Scatter] MS Procedures

Wed, 7 Jan 2004 18:28:11 +0100

Hello Bernd,
you are totaly right but I'm a newcomer ( out of your point of view) to
meteorscatter.
I hardly tryed to become used to HSCW with the help of MSDSP, and know it is
useless.
I've to ride another wave yet by trying to setup WSJT and modify my station.
But what about those guys out of the "old clan" who had to spent much more
time to climb
in the toplist? I think they aren't realy happy about those one's who are
nearly at the same level
like them, without any HSCW usage.
It's a damn hard question. But at all it's just a hobby anyone has to decide
for him self what to do or
not.
So let's see what future brings next.
