In pskmail the receiver tells the sender what to send next. This is necessary 
to prepend  missing blocks 
to the next frame. This way you can realize a full duplex k-to-k mode. 
When downloading a file on a good channel you send 8 blocks x 64 = 512 
characters in a frame before 
you listen for the ack. At PSK250 this is faster than reading speed.

You see it in the phase indicator and in the quality indicator (horizontal bar 
below the phase indicator).
Typically happens when F1 and F2 propagation takes place simultaneously, 
especially in mountainous areas.
At home I live near Eindhoven airport and the airplane echo doppler also 
happens on 30 meters.
You don't see it on the S-meter, but the 2 signals corrupt the phase completely 
which is visible on the 
quality indicator.

At this moment IS0GRB-3 is still S8 on 10148.25, noise (from switching power 
supplies in
neighbouring campers) is S5, with peaks to S9+10.

error-free channel at the moment. The other 3 servers are now gone completely.
