I noticed that when I left your code at the default 12 wpm, I was not picked up by the skimmers. When I called CQ the old fashioned way (with my hand!) at 15 wpm I got plenty of spots. This morning I changed the speed setting on your code to 15 wpm and &#8212; sure enough &#8212; immediately got picked up by an RBN station. <\/strong><\/div>\n<div> <strong> <\/strong><\/div>\n<div> <strong>Anyway, thanks for the code and for your <a href=\"http:\/\/brainwagon.org\/\">Brainwagon blog<\/a>. <\/strong><\/div>\n<div> <strong> <\/strong><\/div>\n<div> <strong>73 Bill <\/strong><\/div>\n<p> Our book: &#8220;SolderSmoke &#8212; Global Adventures in Wireless Electronics&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm\">http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm<\/a> Our coffee mugs, T-Shirts, bumper stickers: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke\">http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke<\/a> Our Book Store: <a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20\">http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Mark: I&#8217;ve been using your code.
