Keith - I am sorry I didn’t make my point clearer.
Let me clarify and absolve you from ever having made that claim and explain
where it came from.
In an earlier post, Marshall had lamented that a good operator could make 4 or
5 SSB/CW QSOs in the time it would take to make a single FT4 QSO. He had
mentioned you as a good op in that post, which you are. Now an FT4 QSO takes 30
seconds, so 4 QSOs in that time frame would be 8 a minute, or 480 an hour. Five
would be 600 an hour. I know you can do 200 an hour, so I put the two points
Marshall made together along with my personal knowledge of your capabilities.
The broader point I was trying to make, which I guess got lost, was that it
doesn’t really contribute to the discussion to exaggerate the situation.
Again, sorry I did not make it clear that what I was addressing did not come
from you.
