Hello to all,
I had a surprise chat with NO4Y, Herman, Elizabeth City, NC at 1746Z on14.080 dial today. Nice signal into Richmond, IN and I have to say it was GREAT fun using my archaic, out-of- date, PK-232MBX and XPware software. Of course, my activity was not without blemish. While calling CQ, again on 14.080 dial, another strong PACTOR station started sending on 14.0811 dial. I was unable to copy it at all but it sounded "different". In trying to tune it in, I did notice that I picked up a fragment of a CQ string from W6FSY; I don't think that strong PACTOR signal was him however. Started calling CQ again when it was quiet and found myself in the company of one of the "musical" multi-tone modes just above me. Fairly strong signal; never have really learned how to tell one multi-tone signal from another by ear and on the fly, sadly. I did post a PACTOR I spot on: http://www.projectsandparts.com/pactor/ and found quite a few stations posting there, though not much from the U.S. I did see one MULTIPSK entry amongst all the SCS units and one other PK-232 listing.
