[digitalradio] Net14 Report for August 2010
Hi Guys The August 2010 Net14 APRS Report has been uploaded to the Net14 Net28 News page of www.net14.org.uk . A number of Net14 transatlantic contacts in August and a report of an APRS/GMSK-250 contact between the USA and Australia. Not on the Net14 20m frequency but on 30m in this instance. But significant for the trials of the mode we are running on Net14 and Net28. Details of the setup of these trials are on the Net14 Net28 + GMSK page of the website. 73 Jim, G0JXN/MB7UXN

And the same common sense attitude which occurs in Canada is also applied to the use of frequencies in the UK. There are sections of the bands which are agreed internationally and everybody accepts it. Although it rarely happens I don't agree with the ruling that operators of Morse code are permitted to transmit where they please anywhere on any band. Why ? Why should such a ruling still exist, for what purpose, other than to irritate those using telephony ? G0GQK

G0GQK Mel, I suspect the reason is mostly historical, and because at one time, when telephone just failed to communicate, and everyone understood Morse, CW could get through. In fact, for VHF and UHF weak-signal operation today, it is very common practice to switch between phone and CW when signals are too weak to be understood by phone. I don't think the ruling continues to exist in order to irritate phone operators... Assuming that a phone operator can still decode Morse by ear, it is possible to cross-communicate with phone and CW, but this is not possible with modern digital modes, like PSK31 and Pactor to telephony (PSK31 operators can understand phone, but the reverse is not true), so there is no way to insure frequency sharing without legal separation between phone and digital. F6CTE now has invented RSID, which helps digital modes to cross-communicate with each other, and therefore negotiate the use of a frequency, by making it easy to switch to another's mode automatically. However, not everyone uses this capability yet. Of course, the importance of cross-communication is being able to ask if a frequency is busy, or ask someone to move if it is. 73, Skip KH6TY

Hello, Dan. Done - please check http://www.qrz.com/db/WD5CND We add APRS logo when you will use it You wrote : Never had a page, how does it work and how will I get there? Like to try.

About QRV APRS . I think nobody use it now. It possible to add APRS logo to your qrzcom page and when you click on it show your position You can see sample of use it in the few pages now, for example click to: http://www.qrz.com/db/k8waw or http://www.qrz.com/db/do3nn You wrote : I would like to try APRS, but have no idea where to start.
