OFF DXpedition
Some updatings is possible - I shall inform in addition

QSX (for CW) 136/ 3533/7012 +/- QRM

QRSS 3-30 sec dot

After consultations with G3AQC (TNX Laurie !), the QSO format is
offered such :

xnXXX   xn - call's prefix, XXX - call's sufix

1   CQ UA9OC K      (OC tx)  Full callsign
2   xnXXX K         (XXX tx) Full callsign
3   xnXXX O K       (OC tx)  O report to xnXXX
4   OC RO M K       (XXX tx) Confirm O and M report to UA9OC
5   XXX RM EE       (OC tx)  Confirm from 9OC and 9OC sign off.
6   OC EE           (XXX tx) xnXXX sign off.
During my QSO with xnNNN, another xnYYYs can carry out 2 -> xnYYY K

Our double QSO format with xnXXX and xnYYY
----------------------------------
1   CQ UA9OC K         (OC tx full call sign)
2   xnXXX K            (XXX tx full call sign)
    xnYYY K            (YYY tx full call sign)
3   xnXXX O xnYYY M K  (OC sends reports O XXX and M YYY)
4   OC RO M XXX EE     (XXX confirm O and M report for OC and sign off)
    OC RM O YYY EE     (YYY confirm M and O report for OC and sign off)
5   XXX YYY EE         (OC signs off)

If any part will not be accepted -> NN (= AGAIN or PRT)
and other side (OC or XXX or YYY) repeats previous TX-part

This would be OK if all stations confirm to format!

I shall look in ARGO in the following ranges (rather 137.700):
QRSS 3  137,650 .....750
QRSS 10 137,687.5 .....712.5
QRSS 30 137,697 ....703
But it is desirable to call me 137,697....703 in any QRSS
If who has only fixed (xtal) freq, the request to me to inform - I
shall look him also.

I will have access to my e-box ed@dx.ru from MO94TK Dial-Up Internet

Also it is possible to inform our Taganrog's team abt UA9OC report to
pager via e-mail:
e-mail: vesso@crypt.rnd.ru  Subject: 29600  In body: text

I hope propagation is not move down ;-))
