Neal -
I use both a VHF connection and an Internet connection because the Internet connection is not reliable and often will shut down when I am not there. When I return a few hours later, instead of a listing of the DX that I might work is a long list of "Keep Alive Message Sent" with no responses. One item that should be addressed is automatic reconnection to an Internet connection that has failed for whatever reason. Thank you for asking. 73, Paul NO8D -----Original Message----- From: Neal Campbell <[email protected]> To: DXBase List <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Oct 11, 2009 6:15 pm Subject: [Dxbase] VHF Packet Users? I just wanted to get an indication from you about your usage of VHF for packet clusters. I know that almost every sysop I know (myself included) have shut down their VHF ports a long time ago but there are some still offering the service. The reason I was asking was that I was considering moving towards allowing 2 internet DXCluster connections instead of 1 VHF and 1 Internet. How does this affect your operation? 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.dxbase.com www.abrohamnealsoftware.com www.sdrsystems.com (540) 242 0911 Amateur Radio: K3NC Blog: http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/blog/ DXBase bug reports: email to [email protected] Abroham Neal forums: http:/www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/community/ DX Cluster: dxc.k3nc.com port 23 ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
