[CQ-Contest] SS Musings...

[Julius Fazekas]

Shhhh, don't let all the QRP stations know that ;o)

repeating as a QRP station seems to be condition/band specific to a given region at times. I've found that sometimes speeding up works well, particularly with storm static, but that doesn't always hold true, particularly on 160.

I generally try repeats at the same speed, then faster, then as a last resort QRS. Usually the biggest problem for me is a "dit" that disappears at the other end, sometimes the only way to get that across is sending painfully slow.

Thought most, if not all, of the QRP stations I worked in SS had great signals and were moving a good clip.
