[digitalradio] Sedate Skirmish ?

2008-04-19 Thread Andrew O'Brien
I know propagation is not great (SF 70 A:6 K:2) but we have had worse lately. I am not hearing much at all for the TARA Skirmish, try CQing PSK63 and Olivia on 40M last night and this morning, NO takers at all (25 watts here). Hardly anything on 20M today, not a whole lot on PSK31 either.

The USB soundcards arrived today from Computer Geeks. Alas, the first three packages I opened contain NO DRIVER CD despite the package saying it contains CD Driver. Computer Geeks are closed for the weekend, so I may have to wait until Monday. I doubt that I will be able to find the driver on

Thanks Mel, I am not sure the ones I bought are exactly the same, I bought 6 at $6.95 each from Computer Geeks. I bought six since shipping cost was $8.00, several hams are going to buy one from me , so we will not waste mailing costs. I do have mine working on regular digital modes, the TX

[digitalradio] Multiple Digital Modes: Time to get rid of most ?

Maybe it is because I am getting irritated because of the pinched nerve in my neck, I'm thinking maybe I have just had enough of the plethora of digital modes. Yes, it is K3UK saying that...the bloke that is always trying varying modes. I tried calling CQ numerous times in the TARA Skirming

Time to put MFSK16,Hell, standard ALE, Olivia , Contestia, RTTYM, DominoEX , etc, in to the virtual junk-box. They can join their counsins from the non-virtual world...Betamax ,8 track tapes, and cassettes. All good applications, but no one uses 'em anymore. Andy K3UK Between
