Lets make a little wager. I'll guarantee this message gets to the list using the supposedly unreliable SMTP technology. I'll guarantee it for X dollars that it works. Now - for what value of Y dollars will anybody here guarantee me that it doesn't work? Do we lose one message in a hundred? A thousand? It's all statistics... Now who'd like to take the same odds on the same number and same size NTS messages? CW? SMTP isn't perfect, but it's pretty incredible -- specially if all the backup mechanisms (MX records and SMTP gateways) are correctly set up. If anybody is still reading these rants, here's a digital radio question. I saw an Amateur Radio booth at a state fair yesterday. Very well done and I was very impressed. But - they had a code key up front and a fancy Icom 756 Pro radio next to a computer monitor with a simple web page. Wouldn't a Ham Radio Deluxe or similar program on 14.070 have made an impressive display? Is there a better wizzy program? 73 Bill - WA7NWP Need a Digital mode QSO?
