Hi Rick, well I don't know how to get my server listed on that site, it up and working most of the day till about 9:00 PM my time. I have had a few connections when I was on PSK125, it seem to woke fine, and band condition do change thing a lot, I can have the program change modes and bands. I was hoping to get some bulletin information added to the server but I have not worked on that yet, hope to soon. I was thinking if I could get to a point where if someone connect and needed the weather for say a city that just by inputing a zip code the server would look up the weather via the internet a and then send it out as part of a short message to the station that asked for it, but I'm no programmer just a button pusher. OK hope the bands get better for us all.

It seems to take a pretty good signal to make this work well. Do you find that the 250 baud rate works most of the time about as well as the 125 baud rate? Probably less affected by Doppler? But would be more affected by ISI multipsk? Without having an automatically adjustable protocol, all the modes are a compromise much of the time. And the faster modes just can not connect when slower modes would work, even though very slow. But slow is better than zero throughput like we often had with 300 baud packet and why that mode never became usable unless you had a very stable MUF type of path. From what I can tell, a lot of the Pactor 2 and 3 operation is done this way because 100 baud PSK is quite susceptible to ionospheric conditions we often have on HF. 73, Rick, KV9U Russell Blair wrote: > > > Rick, Well I went to find the call of the other station close to you > and it was not on the list today I will keep a lookout for it, I have > seen you connect to Fred (WB5CON) at times, the band has not be too > good but if you would like for me to QSY to another band so you can > connect I would be glad just let me know.
