These recordings are an impressive demonstration of the benefit of one dB of signal strength improvement in a weak signal situation. Click on the links on this website: www.ab7e.com/weak_signal/mdd.h
I have never had the opportunity before to hear differences in signal strength by 1 db increments. +1 db is clearly an advantage and a +2 db difference nearly obliterates the weaker signal. Remarkabl
For me, and I suspect for many other Topband ops, when QRN/QRM is involved slower is better than faster! 18-20 WPM is about the right speed. Bernie McClenny, W3UR Editor of: The Daily DX (1997-2019)
Thats Interesting Bernie. For me it is dependent on how well I can hear them. If they are strong enough for me to hear them reasonably well, then when I am dealing with heavy qrn with brief short bur
Just to be clear - when there are very weak signals and QRM/QRN. Bernie McClenny, W3UR Editor of: The Daily DX (1997-2019) The Weekly DX (2001-2019) How's DX? (1999-2019) Two week trial - http://www.
I always thought speed was dependent on the length of fades and type of burst noise. Faster would attempt to catch short fades whereas slower would catch longer fades but weak S/N? On topband my stra
Regardless of speed, it always seems the fade/QRN is synchronized with the callsign and you miss the same letters each time :-) Barry W2UP Faster would attempt to catch short fades whereas slower wo
Isn't that the truth! Of course unnecessary information such as /qrp is always perfect copy. John KK9A Regardless of speed, it always seems the fade/QRN is synchronized with the callsign and you miss
