Blaise Pascal once began a letter with: "I am sorry I have had to write you such a long letter, but I did not have time to write you a short one"
He was quite right. Writing something short and concise takes much longer than writing a lengthy tome. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- David, 5 pages is too long. If it cannot be covered in half a page, it will not be read, and even that half page may not be read. I made a 1 page note on K2 operation for Field Day and even then an experienced digital operator put the K2 in Digital mode using USB instead of RTTY mode and had trouble because USB mode had compression turned on. Once we switched to RTTY mode, the transmit distortion was gone and digital contacts were possible. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/28/2013 10:02 PM, david Moes wrote: > I also created a 5 page printed guide and leaving at the station > thinking it would be read.
