Re: [digitalradio] Fw: [chip64] Hw about a Chip Weekend

[KT2Q]

Rick,   I've only had a few QSO's with Chip, but I think it will find a niche. One major obstacle is the polar ionosphere and Chip seeems to do as well as MFSK and Olivia in that respect.   Chip128 is especially good through Moe Wheatley's canned simulation for high-latitude conditions, but I guess there's no substitute for real-world testing.   I suppose the selective fading and QRN found on 80 meters shows that MFSK, Olivia has an edge over Chip, but there may be other scenarios where Chip has an edge -- only time will tell.   Compared to PSK31, Throb and MT63, Chip certainly does a better job through a simulated polar ionosphere.   73 Tony KT2Q         ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Williams To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 6:27 PM Subject: RE: [digitalradio] Fw: [chip64] Hw about a Chip Weekend Could some one explain the advantage of CHIP 64 over other modes? Thus far I have found, along with others that have worked with the mode,  nothing to differentiate it. It does not work as well as MFSK16 on difficult/noisy paths such as nighttime 80 meters. Are there cases where it does perform better than existing digital modes?   KV9U -----Original Message----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Andrew J.

I would like to suggest Oct 15 - Oct 16 Frequencies - 7070 ?   14077 ?   3583 ?  10134 ? Nothing firm about the dates or frequencies I am just throwing them out for other to consider.    Stan AK0B The K3UK DIGITAL MODES SPOTTING CLUSTER AT telnet://208.15.25.196/ More info at http:///www.obriensweb.com YAHOO!
