CW at "HF speeds" can be quite intimidating to VHFers who are used to slower
sppeds due to fading, marginal signals. That being said, let's try to
establish a QRS (slow-speed CW) segment for the Stew Perry VHF SS Warmup
(ok...they call it the Top-band DX Challenge). :)
My 160 meter V-dipole is going up tomorrow (a modest stretch of wire, 40-feet
at apex). Whe I call CQ, it will be above 1.855 MHz and will likely be 10 WPM
or less. Anyone who replies faster will be asked to QRS ('cause I'm lame that
way).
VHFers...join me! Use your favorite VHF logging program and submit a Cabrillo
log. The scoring is done by their log-robot after submittal.
