The three\nsecond tail is different than any other satellite so\nyou must adjust for it. If you don't, you will not\nhave much fun.\n\nThe first way to make a good contact is to wait 3 seconds\nafter the last station transmits before you transmit. You\nwill then be able to transmit for as long as the qrm will\nallow. I believe there is a 30 second timer which will\ncome into play if a valid signal with PL is continuous\nfor that period of time.\n\nIf someone calls you and you can reply in less than three\nseconds, by all means jump right in and transmit as soon\nas the other station drops. There is enough time to\nacknowledge with your grid square and a \"qsl.\" There is\nnormally not enough time to add your callsign. If you have to\nsay more than 3 seconds worth, wait until the tail timer\nexpires (3 seconds) before you start transmitting.\n\nIf you are full duplex, you can easily transmit on the\n3 second tail, hear yourself drop, unkey and then begin\ntransmitting again. That has worked for some.\n\nThere is a third way to get around the tail timer and that\nis to start transmitting before the station you are working\nunkeys. If there is a squelch crash, you missed and the tail\ntimer will get you. If you get your transmitter on before\nthe other station drops, you'll be able to exchange your info\nwithout dropping. It's tricky and full duplex helps.\n\nThere are many other factors which can contribute to a drop\nincluding being clobbered by another station. If the\nclobbering station is not running PL, the three second timer\nstarts and the bird will drop. Again, full duplex helps to\nhear what is going on when you are transmitting. Running\ntoo much deviation can also mute the receiver and start the\ntimer. Turn your mic gain down and your processor off. Use\nnarrow FM on your transmit signal if your radio has it.\n\nIncorporating a 3 second waiting period is very difficult because\nwe have been programmed to respond immediately after the station\nwe are working stops transmitting. Failure to begin transmitting\nimmediately usually results in someone else making a call. However,\nwhen working SO-67, transmitting immediately will start the 3 second\ntimer. It takes discipline to wait.\n\nThe last option is to just listen and let the others experience the\nfun. (smile)\n\n73,\nJohn K8YSE\n\n", "attachments": [] }
