Comments:
Squeezed around family commitments to be part of the fun in this contest. I was
curious to see how 75 bauds would behave in a real contest. I must say I was
favorably impressed. Conditions here were marginal at best and stations that I
usually copy very easily required several repeats. The speedy exchange would
fall very often in fading and it was difficult to hit the right timing in
asking for repeats. Never heard EU on 15. No AF or OC to the point were I asked
myself if any stations from there were actually in the test.
My positives: the long exchanges are easier to swallow :) - In good conditions
rates could actually be astronomical - Excellent for S&P on the fly -
My negatives: the sound...fatiguing in the long run at least for my ears -
Accurate decoding in poor conditions?? -
So thanks John and the Bartg for giving us the opportunity of trying this. It
sure gets my vote.
73, Fabi va2up
