[600MRG] XSH/20 and VK

[w1tag at charter.net]

Rudy,

Just a topic for conversation here...

A long callsign like WD2XSH/20 requires some labor from WSPR. I believe 
that two reception periods are necessary to get the complete call. You 
might want to think about whether the complete callsign is really 
necessary to identify you without ambiguity. I'd imagine that the FCC 
has absolutely no interest in the issue...they only want a CW ID every 
30 minutes. Should the FCC take an interest in your signal, I doubt that 
they would think to run WSPR software.

On a very long and thready path like you are attempting, you just might 
get a signal peak for the requisite 2 minutes. Asking for a couple of 
those peaks to parse the callsign may be difficult. Think about trying 
something 6 characters long, and see what happens.

John, W1TAG
