[digitalradio] Stealing the N0UK/Ping Jockey Central Idea ? Need programmer
I corresponded with Chris N0UK about stealing his cgi that he uses to create the very useful service for JT65A terrestrial users (and other pages for MS/EME) . He was nice enough to offer to share his code with me but I realized there was still too much work for a non-programmer like me. I don't have the C knowledge that would be needed, nor do I have a whole lot of experience in creating cgi scripts. I wonder though, would the type of page he has created at http://www.chris.org/cgi-bin/jt65talk be useful to digitalradio members looking for activity for other digital modes, not JT65 or FFSK441? The DX Cluster is getting little use these days and I do take it down occasionally during thunderstorms. Chris' concept would reside on my web site's host server not on my PC locally, so it would be down less . My web site has unlimited traffic limit and is high speed. If anyone has the requisite programming skills to create something akin to what Chris has created, I would be happy to host it and promote it via the email group. There are other html post-get type of pages that collect DX cluster spots, I'm looking to replicate the more interactive aspect of Chris' service for the Olivia, Hell, Dominoex, PAx2 users at Digitalradio.

What's his code written in, what's he using for a database, and what database and tools are available on your web server (ColdFusion, ASP, etc)?

Re: [digitalradio] Stealing the N0UK/Ping Jockey Central Idea ? Need programmer
Probably better to put it on your site (once it's finished of course). The ad says it supports PHP, so that's most of what it requires right there. Make a text file with a .php extension, containing the following line: ?php phpinfo(); ? Upload it to you host and then open it in your browser. Two bits of info on the resulting page are important: 1. the version of PHP, mainly if it's version 4.x or 5.x (my dev box runs 5.x, but I think the script will run on 4.x) 2. whether or not DBA support is enabled. It needs to be for the script to work as it is written (it uses the Berkeley DB lib, specifically version 4.2) Given that, it should be deployable without much effort. -Joe, N8FQ On Wed, 25 Apr 2007 16:09:36 -0400 Andrew O'Brien [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Joe, This is amazing, well done!

[digitalradio] JT65A SNR - How Low?
All: After several weeks of testing, I think it's fair to say that JT65 seems to have the ability to decode weaker signals than what we're used to with other modes. It would be interesting to see how much of an advantage it has. The decode threshold seems to be about 13db better than others when noise testing with PathSim (no ionospheric simulation), but the question is whether the software can accurately measure SNR or at least come close. Does anyone know if the SNR measurements are accurate? Are there any flaws using this method to measure SNR? The program uses Gaussian white noise to simulate SNR ratios through a 3khz passband filter. Thanks, Tony KT2Q

Re: [digitalradio] Re: The state of HF digital modes
What I think is that we cannot measure both the speed and the roll of a screwball...When there are too many variables playing, it is hard to discern, at least, quickly. Pactor III is undoubtely better thought, but not much different in performance at low SNR's. Having no adventages, P II may do as well. At high SNR's, Pactor 3 is hard to beat in 2.4 kHz bandwidth. There is a compromise between speed and reliability, which, using FEC and ARQ, adds latency. Compromises are speed, reliability, bandwidth and low power. You just cannot have it all. I did not mention cost, but undoubtely, is also a factor. 73, Jose, CO2JA --- Bill McLaughlin wrote: Hi Bonnie, I think PactorII is better than PactorIII in terms of being efficient; it is why Winlink systems revert to PactorII when conditions become tough (for an example of my subjectivity). But it all depends on how one defines better, as I said in an earlier postalot of factors involved in best...speed, bandwidth, robustness (not a real word), sensitivitity, legality, availability, popularity, lack of popularity, impact on other hams, pricethe list goes on. For an obscure example: what is better for meteor scatter on 6 meters, FSK441 or JT6M? Easy to answer, It depends.
