Andy, I need to come better prepared next time! I run Mixw most of the time since that's what I've been using for so many years.
I wanted to use RSID and realized at the last moment that I didn't have macros setup for Multipsk or Fldigi. I spent more time fumbling, configuring and becoming familiar with the software more than anything else; lesson learned ; ) Modes worked : Hellschriber - MFSK16 - Olivia 16/500 - DominoEx11 Tony -K2MO ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy obrien" <k3uka...@gmail.com> To: <multi...@yahoogroups.com> Cc: "digitalradio" <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, May 03, 2009 8:13 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Re: [multipsk] Re: Multimode Madness Hours May 3 1300-1400 and 2300-000 UTC Thanks to all those that tried. Nice to hear the 20m segment busy with odd sounding modes. The form for results is at http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cnRnbThrWFZvMEVwcFVjSmpwVHlGS3c6MA.. Let me know if you have any difficulty posting your scores. The morning session was quiet but hear a few signals at the 2300 madness hour. RSID was fun, very helpful. MFSK16/8, Olivia and DominoEX seemed to be the most common and most effective for the few Qs I had. Chip 64 and MT63 seemed to fail with people that could copy me on Dominoex or Olivia. I think for the next Multimode Madness, I will amend the rules to limit QSOs with same call sign on same band to no more than 3 modes. Also perhaps no more that three speed changes with a particular mode (e.g PSK . Dominoex, Olivia maximum of three settings per band). How did you all do ?
