Hi Russ, Sorry I have to rain on the parade, but I am now in South Carolina, and no longer in Hawaii. :-(
However, what is significant is that even with band conditions degrading rapidly, you managed to send me a message using Flarq, and it was received flawlessly with only one repeated block. I was running 10 watts to a 20m inverted Vee in my attic (on 30m!) to your 5 watts with a Butternut in the side yard. Band was going out, but because we were using ARQ, the message came through without an error, even though the raw text on VBdigi had errors. If I had a 30m antenna, I would have been much stronger. I am amazed we could had a QSO at all, under such poor conditions! You are my first totally random ARQ QSO using the NBEMS, and I connected with your beacon signal, so I am very gratified with the result tonight! 73, Skip KH6TY Mount Pleasant, SC FM02 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russell Blair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Digital Radio" <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 7:29 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Text message passed ok via VBdigi texas to KH6 land >I just had a qso on 10.137 usb with KH6TY and sent him > a PSK31 txt message form Texas to kh6 land I was > running 5w of power, we tryed a PSK63 but the band was > gone and I had no copy on him.
