Rudy,

yes 50% TX cycle will help your chances.  David, VK2DDI, and I had this conversation the other day after he decoded me.  I was running 20% TX when he decoded me and it was dumb luck that I peaked at that moment I was transmitting.  I ran 50% TX last night here in hopes of a repeat.  Definitely run 50%.  We all know we can hear each other stateside.. lets up the ante!

this recent VK activity is good because it has us listening for each other on both sides of the pond.  That has to happen if a QSO is ever a possibility, regardless of what the modulation is.


73,

John XIQ

Here is the reply I sent to John earlier.  I don't know if it explains 
anything or not.

"Interesting thought John.

My knowledge of wspr is very limited I'm afraid.  I've run an experiment a
few times, turning on my signal when I know someone will be able to decode
me and seeing if they get me on a single transmission.  I actually did this
again last night.  I popped on the transmitter and then checked the
reporting before I made a second transmission.  Three stations got me on the
first bounce with the correct ID.  I wasn't testing the ID question, I just
wanted to be sure I was really on the air, with the right timing, etc.

However, that doesn't mean your suggestion isn't a good one.  I'm sure there
must be a wspr chat site which might be helpful but I haven't taken the time
to ferret it out.  If I switch to 50% duty cycle that might help somewhat in
exploiting a short opening??"

73, Rudy
