[Meteor-Scatter] RE Random Working on FSK-MS...

[DL8EBW at 1&1]

Hallo Bernd, hi all MS freaks

some comment from me...

you are right - as long as the second caller is in a fair distance
(lets say 100km) from the station you wants to work, it will have
different refelection points and so you copy different bursts.
At all, if you have good bursts from your first partner, in the case
above it will work! If you have weak reflections and you have a "big
gun" which produce every 5s a reflection, it will possible interfere
your weak partner!

If you have lower distances than 30km (and these is possible in ares
like JO30/31) the stations use often same refelection points and it
shall be wise to stop as 2nd caller to avoid interference!

As we have seen at G0KZG/MM in last weeks and also in other expeditions,
the station missed a lot of QSOs due to stations which was calling all
over time without stopping (the QSOs was defenatly longer than at a
clear frequency).

Anyway in an exepdition we have to decide if you wonna work as much
stations as possible, or if you wonna work some special station.
I still decide for myself to run random in the way you suggest, Bernd.
Otherwise I will be trying to make skeds to some people or those who
have´nt the big gun materials, or good locations, and I will use DXCs
and/or SMS (also if some people do not like that style) in my next
trips.

That I was long time suggesting - lets start again to spread out.
Lets run split and hope not everybody be on the same qrg, hihi

so are the IARU-rules inbetween! Earlier days we do need to exchange 
8xRRR both stations to have a qso complete!

do not really like these style... its my personal view, that a QSO
has to end thar both ends be sure without using the DXC (it also
give the C? qso, but that are other circumstances)! The way on the
DXC will only be to hurry up, and so I do not realy like it...

gl in JM89/87 Bernd - lets hope on some good conditions!
