[600MRG] W0RW's RST System

[Neil Klagge]

Hi DR.

I like the old version of QRK and QSA that you posted:


QRK?  What is the intelligibility of my signals (or those of ...)?
QRK The intelligibility of your signals (or those of ...) is ...
1. bad
2. poor
3. fair
4. good
5. excellent.

QSA?
What is the strength of my signals (or those of ...)?

QSA The strength of your signals (or those of ...) is
1. scarcely perceptible
2. weak
3. fairly good
4. good
5. very good.


The RST, with S and T going from 1 to 9 is a bit of overkill, it seems to me.

Yes, the old commercial usage is best:

QRI
QRI?  How is the tone of my transmission?
QRI1 QRI2 QRI3
The tone of your transmission is ...
1. good
2. variable
3. bad.

QRK?  What is the intelligibility of my signals (or those of ...)?
QRK The intelligibility of your signals (or those of ...) is ...
1. bad
2. poor
3. fair
4. good
5. excellent.

QSA?
What is the strength of my signals (or those of ...)?

QSA The strength of your signals (or those of ...) is
1. scarcely perceptible
2. weak
3. fairly good
4. good
5. very good.

QRK5 QSA5 QRI1

for QRK and QSA better is higher number, but  for QRI better is lower number!
