I was trolling 20M today and found a familiar callsign sending CQ. 
The station was looking to test file sending with NBEMS (VBdigi and
FLARQ).  It has been almost 2 months since I used NBEMS but I fired it
up and was able to "talk" my contact through the process of sending
his first PSK ARQ file.

I think I should remind people here how useful this software is, very
easy to use and good file transfers.

N4UM:72 Testing NBEMS de N4UM
ARQ:FILE::hi.txt
ARQ:ENCODING::ASCII
ARQ:FILE::Test File.txt
ARQ:ENCODING::ASCII
ARQ:SIZE::1008
ARQ::STX

This is a test file designed to be 1 kB in length  (snip)

>>>  Received 1008 in 269.0 sec's

I was surprised and how long N4UM sent before an ACK was requested and
thought that something might be wrong, but at about the 60% received
mark...an ACK was requested and then the remainder was sent.

We used PSK on 20M.
