PSK Automatic Propagation Reporter
This is a project to automatically gather reception records of PSK
activity and then make those records available in near realtime to
interested parties — typically the amateur who initiated the
communication. The way that it works is that many amateurs will run a
client that will monitor received traffic for callsigns (the pattern
'de callsign callsign') and, when seen, will report this fact. This is
of interest to the amateur who transmitted adn they will be able to
see where their signal was received. The pattern chosen is typically
part of a standard CQ call. The duplicate check is to make sure that
the callsign is not corrupted.
The way that this would be used is that an amateur would call CQ and
could then (within a few minutes) see where his signal was received.
This can be useful in determining propagation conditions or in
adjusting antenna and/or radio parameters. It will also provide an
archive of reception records that can be used for research purposes.
There is a prototype map display of this information.
If this is interesting to you, then please contact me at the email
address below to see if there is a client for your PSK decoding
application, or you can contact the author of your package directly,
and point him at this page.
For Beta Testers
For Digital Master 780 (part of Ham Radio Deluxe), I have written a
small addon that generates these reports. This package can be
downloaded as a zip file. To install, just unzip it, and then run the
BAT file. This will monitor the Superbrowser window for new callsigns
and will report them. You need to run the BAT file whenever you login
to Windows -- the program does not install anything. To uninstall,
just delete the files. The program works for me on Vista, your mileage
may vary. If you have any problems, then send me email at the address
below. The program does not generate any output. To see if it is
working for you, the easiest way is to pick a callsign that you have
seen 'recognized' in the Superbrowser, and enter it into the map
displayer above. Within five minutes, at least one of the markers
should be on your location.
For Developers
There is a complete description of the protocol used to submit the
information, together with information on a test server to use.
