Well the first two hours of the experiment are over . Nice to see some
familiar calls in the PSK63 Sprint and hope we get a few more from 0200 to 0400
tomorrow. The mode seemed quite good for contesting, only one station cause me
to suffer the AGC nasties. QPSK was a challenge only 3 stations worked on that
mode, so far.
The stations I worked were all solid copy regardless of power levels, I did not
have to ask for a repeat at any time in BPSK and just once in QPSK (tuning
issue). Narrow filters did fine but I liked to use the wider ones to see what
activity was on the band. PSK63 handled the PACTOR QRM quite nicely.
We'll see what tomorrow brings. If you missed it , you can still be part of
the experiment tomorrow.
