[digitalradio] Digital Mode Meteors

2009-01-14 Thread Tony
All,

For those who may be interested in digital modes via space debris, there's a 
group of hams who meet regularly to bounce signals off of those tiny space 
particles that bombard our atmosphere every day. Joe Taylor developed the JT6M 
and FSK441 meteor scatter modes for this purpose.  

Radio meteor rates vary throughout the day with a peak around 6AM and a lul 
around 6PM. They are constatnly raining down leaving ionized trails in their 
wake so it is theoretically possible to work this mode 24/7. 

The VHF "sweet spot" is 50MHz so if you have a 100 watt 6M rig and a decent 
antenna (small Yagi will do) you can work MS. Bigger antennas and higher power 
levels will increase your sucess rate. 


Where we meet : Pingjockey MS sked page --  
http://www.pingjockey.net/cgi-bin/pingtalk
Software: WSJT -- http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/Download.htm
WSJT User Guide: http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/WSJT_User_600.pdf

The height of the meteor reflections limit the range to approximately 1300 
miles so keep that in mind when making a sked. Also mind the WSJT transmit 
sequence i.e, wich station goes first and which mode is being used when posting 
sked info.  

Hope to see you there...

To All,

I did download the new release and found a couple of things.

Pressing the Appointments button takes me to K3UK's page but there's no way to
post comments or log in.

If I instead go to my "Favorites" and select the page, I can log in and post 
comments, etc.

Also, I've been running in HALF setting.  Has anyone tried the other settings: 
Double or 1/4?
I tried Normal and found garbage on the screen with no success in cleaning it 
up, operator
error possibility not withstanding.

Is there a real incentive for operators to be able to change tone frequencies 
in the TX options?

Are we supposed to uninstall the previous release before unpacking a newer 
release?

After running the newest version now for a few minutes, I find now that I 
cannot get it to go to
maximized from a minimized condition.  The small replica of the program does 
appear when
moving the cursor to the minimized position on the lower bar.

I also downloaded the Magic Clip, I believe it is called, and am playing with 
that for a bit.

Is there some way to save the definitions created in the Macro Keys rather than 
have them
erased each time a newer version of the software is installed?  That is one 
reason why I
am looking at that Magic Clip thingie and not just to reduce my transmitting 
burden

I know this is a "new" mode, but has anyone determined just what the direction 
will be for
MFTTY?  I think it's a slick offering but.that's just me.  I'd be curious 
about other
thoughts.

I've read where some use 14.068 on 20 meters but it is so crowded there with

Can we all try to establish a meeting frequency for using this mode?

HI,

I have just downloaded this program and installed it on my radio computer.
Problem, when I run it after installing I get the error message "Run-time
error '372'
Failed to load control 'RichTestBox' from RICHTX32.OCX. Your version of
RICHTX32.OCX may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of control
that was provided with your application.

I am running XP Pro and have down-loaded VB6 Runtime from the MFTTY website.
I have even downloaded the RICHTX32.OCX file and followed the instructions
to install on my computer, BUT this has not fixed the problem, still getting
the same error message.

Is there any reason why this might be happening? Any help would be grateful

Kevin, ZL1KFM.

Hey, Buddy.

Yeh, I know.  I've only heard ONE MFTTY station and that was on or near 3591.
It seems to me that perhaps 3591, give-or-take, would be the best if you wanted
to take a shot at my station.  I'll leave this thing on there (once I get it 
working 
right again) and perhaps we can contact each other and see how it works.

At least that would b e a beginning - you'd know that someone is keeping
watch out for your signal specifically.

You can also try this link out, log in, and when you're transmitting, post a
comment about it for others to see, including me.  We can coordinate there
as well -
