Digital modes are becoming more and more popular just recently with PSK31
and RTTY etc.
But I have started to see a new mode taking over and I'm having trouble
finding any information on it.
The mode I'm talking about is 'Ultra wide CW'. I'm sure some of you have
come across it.
It's where you get run off a frequency from someone that's 1Khz+ away!
I'm not talking 40 over 9 signals, or nasty clicks. I mean actually being
able
to hear thier tone through the filter when they are miles away and being
just over s9.
Let me say I'm confident I'm not getting overload, and NB is off etc etc.
It's this wonderfull new mode.
No matter how many hundreds of pounds you spend on crystal filters the new
'Ultra wide CW' will be sure to get through.
I'm not sure how this new mode is created, or what hardware is required.
It would appear that the dealers of 'Ulra wide CW' only supply thier product
to 1x2 ans 2x1 EU contest calls, and a very few select single op's.
I would be very intersted to know if it's available to the genral public, as
I'm all for making the most of every advantage during my contesting
activities.
Thanks.
Tongue firmly in cheek.
