Re: 11meter operators are the real gents of radio.


I'm just wondering why the heck "Farnsworth slow" appeared in my post - it's nonsense!

What I meant was slow, but relatively high Farnsworth speed. That means sending the individual characters fairly fast, but with good spaces between the letters. (Thinking time.)

Anyhow, if you ever want to practice at someone, I'm a willing victim, and I won't criticise. emoticon

Re: 11meter operators are the real gents of radio.


now i find the opposite!! maybe its just me, but i use 20m a lot and everyone is top notch (never spoke to a uk station yet though)maybe best i didnt! and 40m is very polite indeed, the old boys have a nice little net going, jurgen in austria, marc in france dave in scotland etc etc. but when skips up on 11m they are all off frequency and shouting over eachother with distortion!! having said that there are lots of proper stations on there too.
ps, i find that m3s and 2e0s get a good response rate from dx on 20m(and your KL400 will work nicely on 20m)!
