Hi Ted, "But given that you have to listen between CQs, that's a long time between CQs in each mode:
CW-listen-phone-listen-CW-listen-phone... I think you'd be better off just calling a tighter cycle in one mode at a time, or using true SO2R with a second radio/antenna (if possible). Just my opinion." I would mainly use the dueling CQ on mixed mode during the 10 meter contest when it would be very slow in an attempt to generate some activity. Also, I would like to transmit the wav file first, then immediately transmit the CW using full QSK. Using full QSK, I would hopefully be able to hear a phone station coming back to me in between my CW dots and dashes. If I heard a phone station, I would simply hit the ESC key and work them. I would like a 1.5 second to 2 second pause after the CW transmission before continuing with the phone wav file transmission. This might be totally crazy, and it may cause undesirable interference products, but I would like it if I could transmit both the wav CQ on phone and the CW CQ pseudo simultaneously. I know that the phone operators listening to my CQ would hear the CW gaps but I think that it would still be intelligible. If this where possible then there would only be one gap for listening. Lastly, I did setup my K3 with phone on the main receiver and CW on the 2nd receiver. I was hoping to search up and down the CW portion of the band in the gaps between phone wav CQs. However Writelog would not transmit in CW after I found someone to work in the CW portion of the band. I switched focus to the second call entry window and pressed F4 (my callsign) and nothing happened. 73, Dave KG0US -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Dueling-CQ-During-Mixed-Mode-10-Meter-Contest-tp7567591p7567670.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
