Andy, there is a learnning curve for PSKmail as well as ALE and Winmor and
software for a PC, and power to run all this. but the phone nets maybe slow but
all you need is a radio.
hine site is all ways 20/20 to what we should have done.

Yes Howard. The HF Ale network is very active with hams standing by but I do
not see any actual use of the ALE stations, so far. PSKmail , as I mentioned
earlier, appears tailor made for relaying traffic from/to Haiti . from a ham
to an ISP server. Winmor/Winlink could also carry traffic from the island and
pop in into the Internet. The question is ... will any of these get any actual
use, or will hams on the island revert to old tested methods... phone nets
and phone patches ?
