Other than being something else with which to experiment, <B>it is much more efficient than slow CW or SSB meteor scatter!</B> How much more? That depends on conditions, etc. But in general, <B>if you have a 10% chance of completing a MS sked on SSB, you probably have a greater than 90% chance on HSCW!</B> Not only that, but <B>HSCW is usable every day of the year</B>, <U>not</U> just during the peaks of major shower. This is because HSCW MS needs only the brief pings of sporadic meteors. Fractional-second underdense pings are all that is needed. And these are available just about all the time. No, you can't complete if there aren't at least a few pings. But on over a year of daily skeds, an 80%+ completion rate has been common most of the time.</P> <HR size=4> <P>If you are <B>not</B> familiar with HSCW, we suggest that you bring up the whole <A HREF="papers/welcome7.htm">Welcome</A> to get a little background. Then explore the <A HREF="wave.html">sounds</A> (and sights) of HSCW. After this, take a look at some of the many <A HREF="papers.html">papers and helps</A> vailable. Note especially the FAQ, Semi-Technical FAQ, and Procedures. Then continue on from there.</P> <P>If you <B>are</B> already familiar with HSCW but are looking for something specific, check out the various topics on the left. If you don't find it here, we suggest that you try the <A HREF="http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/ws1_15.html">W6/PAØZN Web site</A>. And hyperlinked from both that site and this one are a lot more VHF DX/MS/HSCW Web sites. What you need is probably there. (Remember that this is only a <B>backup</B> for the huge <B>W6/PAØZN HSCW Web site. Much</B> more HSCW data is available there.</P> <P>We hope to hear <SPAN CLASS ="bid">you</SPAN> on HSCW MS soon! Try it! You'll like it!</P> <HR size=4> <A HREF="papers/hot_news.html">News</A>         <A HREF="papers.html">HSCW Papers</A>          <A HREF="wave.html">Wave files</A>          <A HREF="msdsp.html">MS_DSP</A>          <A HREF="antennas.html">Antennas</A>          <A HREF="others.html">Other Methods</A> <center>- - - - - - - - - -</center><br> <A HREF="papers/urls.html">Web Sites</A>          <A HREF="misc.html">Misc.</A>          <A HREF="../wd8kvd/wd8kvd2.html">WD8KVD</A>          <A HREF="vhfdx.html">VHF DX</A>        &#160 <A HREF=""../index.html" TARGET=_top>Main W8WN Home Page</A> <HR size=4>  <a href="mailto:notme@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme2@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme3@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme4@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme5@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme6@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme7@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme8@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme9@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme10@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme11@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme12@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme13@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme14@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme15@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme16@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme17@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme18@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme19@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme20@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notmew21@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme22@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme23@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme24@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme25@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme26@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme27@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme28@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme29@nowhere.com"></a> <a href="mailto:notme30@nowhere.com"></a> </BODY>
