I'm experimenting again. I have a full time (24/7) HF Winklink-Winmor server as previously announced, using several different bands during the day. I have also configured an ALE 400 stations to operate the same frequencies at the same times as the Winmor server. What does this do ? Well, the Winmor server provides the usual role of email in/out via Winlink and, rather selfishly, ALE400 provides an opportunity to work me key-board to keyboard , if needed. So, if you are looking to work me, the ALE station will respond IF I am in the shack. Call ID is active too, so I can log any call IDs on the frequencies. I may periodically ( and manually) "sound" via ALE 400 .
The Winmor server will not respond if the frequency is busy, and the ALE 400 station will NOT have auto-answer enabled. So, I should have the normal courteous operator procedures in place. 24 hours per day, the current schedule for K3UK is 0000 to 0859 UTC 7103 (dial) 0900 to 0959 UTC 3583 (dial) 1000 to 1259 UTC 7103 (dial) 1300-to 1759 UTC 14110 (dial) 1800 to 2059 UTC 28125 (dial) 2100 to 2359 UTC 14110 (dial) All frequencies are USB. So, if you want to experiment with different modes, call me KB to KB via ALE400. If you have traffic to pass, use the Winmor server via RMS Express software. Andy K3UK
