Changes for July, 3

Sometimes, the first characters in the message are broken:

>> RX1: 19:28 @ 5.4 Hz: O4WGT <STOP> -34 dB
>> RX1: 19:33 @ 5.4 Hz: G4WGT <STOP> -31 dB

This problem will be fixed from July 3 at 00:00:01 UTC with some changes in the ROS protocol. You only have to renove your old ROS version.

England-South Africa on 30 meters

Great QSO reported by Dave, G3ZXX. 9035 km between England and South Africa (Ben ZS6ANZ) on 10144. Congratulations!

Just thought that it might be NEWS worthy, but I’ve just had a QSO with Ben ZS6ANZ, on 10144.

Contact was initially established using 8/500 but we had to change to 4/500 to complete the QSO.

Cheers &amp; 73

S/N: 0 dB  (It means 29 dB!! of Fade Marge for ROS4)

Congratulations to John and Jorge for this Great QSO.

Australia-Twente 16792 Km !! on 14115

This message was intercepted at Twente SDR (long wire antenna) from John VK7XX to F4FHY on 20 meters and ¡¡16 bauds!!.

This appear in my personal stats as the Farthest Contact recieved.  Now we understand why ARRL say that “ROS could produce interferences on HF Bands” 🙂
