Not presenting an opinion here, but a mere fact:
Skype does not provide multicasting at automatic answering.
In other words; only 1 listener can automatically connect the RX experiment
of K3NA at a time. As such, in practise the amount of "pingers" is limited
to 1. And it takes a while before you have the remote RX audio online. Next
there will be a latency of min 1 sec.
On a personal note:
I can see the picture Tom is drawing. It is certainly not unrealistic and
not welcome in my view.
To "test" your low-band performance you can do 2 other things:
- make qso's
- enter a dedicated chat session, like www.on4kst.com , telnet converse for
making your sked etc..etc..
