 I agree, its about time somebody invented an automatic overdrive controller 
 for PSK transmissions. I don't listen to them though, I switch the sound off, 
 but seeing them is more than enough for me !
 

There are at least two, the IMD Meter and PSK meter.

The IMD meter is portable, but requires user input the PSK meter needs 
to be installed and set up correctly, but does the job automatically.

[digitalradio] Re: Nominations for 2009 Digitalradio Awards needed

2009-12-09 Thread cq_k7ng
I nominate Patrick, F6CTE.  Sorry but WINMOR, exciting though it is, isn't 
ready for prime time, appears to me.  Patrick has continuously expanded the 
capabilities of Multipsk, and RS ID is icing on the cake.

 I second Simon's nominations of the WINMOR team and Patrick.  I also believe 
 that Simon should receive a life-time achievement award for all of his many 
 contributions not least of which has been HRD/DM780. HRD/DM780 has offered 
 many new hams world-wide an easy and friendly way to access almost every 
 digital mode in use today.  I am sure that the popularity of all of the 
 digital modes is due in great part to Simon's work over the years.

   I believe RSID is old news, 2007 if not 2006.
  
 





[digitalradio] 24 hour Feld Hell Sprint this Saturday!

2009-12-09 Thread scollaysquarewriter
The Feld Hell Club wraps up 2009 with a 24-hour Sprint celebrating the birthday 
of the man who invented Hellschrieber, Dr. Rudolph Hell.
 
Date: Saturday, December 12th, 2009 (Not Dr. Hell's actual birthday but because 
of a major RTTY contest occuring on the 19th, we have moved up the date.)
 
Time:  - 2400 Z
 
MODES: All modes of Hell are allowed
 
BANDS: All non-WARC bands are allowed
 
EXCHANGE: RST, FH #, COUNTRY
 
POINTS: 3 for a each member QSO, 1 for a non-member QSO.  You get points for a 
QSO with the same ham on a different band.
 
MULTIPLIERS: 1 for each state, province, or country.  You do NOT get multiplier 
points for a QSO on different bands, only contact points above.
 
BONUS POINTS:
 
1) 200 points for your first QSO on each band with a ham in Eggmühl, Bavaria
 
2) 200 points for your first QSO on each band with a ham in a town named Hell.  
There's one such town in Michigan (W/K 8), one in Norway (LA), and we also 
found one on the Grand Cayman Islands (ZF)
 
3) 100 points goes for your first QSO on each band with a ham in Germany (D)

Scores will be submitted via a web-based autologger.  No messy files or logs to 
submit.  See the club web site www.feldhellclub.org for more details and the

Good luck!




[digitalradio] strange signal on 20m band

2009-12-09 Thread KB1NAL
 
 
Greetings:
 
   Any station copy the very strange signal on:
14.089500 MHz USB in the digital portion?
Picking up a bandwidth of 2 KC wide...
The audio sounds like a non-stop vacuum 
cleaner noise... If you know what exactly 
that can be, please share with the group..
