Re: [digitalradio] Mystery signal on 75M

[J. Moen]

OK, I was thinking of the narrow bandwidth WinDRm and even better FDMDV that we 
used until it was discovered we were using a proprietary codec.  DRM for HF 
broadcast really is pretty wide, comparatively.  Thanks for the links.

[digitalradio] Mystery signal on 75M

[jhaynesatalumni]

I was listening on the top end of 75M this afternoon about 4PM
CST and heard a strange wideband signal, sounded a little bit like
rushing wind.  Brought up a digital waterfall and found that it
extended from 3990.15 to 3997.85.  The waterfall display was rather
blotchy, suggesting some internal structure, tho I'm not clear on
how many carriers might be present or what their spacing is.

I was beginning to suspect the neighbor's cable TV box which has
put noise on some other frequencies, but then the signal went away
about 5PM CST.  I've heard the signal before, but didn't note
the times and spectrum.  This is in NW Arkansas.

[digitalradio] Annual Statement of Rules

[obrienaj]

Digitalradio Message Posting Rules:

Messages that promote commercial products are NOT allowed, with the
exception of products directly associated with Amateur Radio or Short
Wave Listening.

Messages should be related to amateur radio, shortwave listening, and
especially digital communication.

Occasional posting of items that are not directly related may be
allowed but please contact the moderator first.

Messages may be posted in any language.

Messages cannot promote activities that are considered illegal by
Yahoo, or encourage copyright violation.

Member Behaviour:

This group is uncensored. Members are free to engage in the posting
of information, solicit answers to questions, and engage in lively
discussion.

Expressions of diverse opinions are encouraged. However, expressions
of opinion should be non-judgmental and devoid of personal insult.

For example : You can say " I really disagree, and I think your view
is totally wrong" but should not say "You are a jerk,
and obviously have the I.Q of a mole".

Racist remarks, or remarks intolerant of the diverse cultures found
within the amateur radio community, are not allowed.

The expression of fraternal greetings associated with varying
holidays celebrated around the world are ARE allowed.

The use of swear words is discouraged.

Please try to avoid endless debate of a topic. Make your opinions
known by all means, respond to counterpoints a couple of times too,
if you want. However, after a while, debates often turn in to endless
circular arguments. When this happens the moderators will occasionally
"end the debate" by giving a 72 hour notice. This means after 72
hours notice, posting on the topic should end.

Occasionally, a "cooling off" period is enacted whereby the list is
placed on fully moderated status to allow the debate to cool of. In

idea. Only two members has ever been banned.  If you
post or reply to a message that is considered clearly inappropriate,
you will receive a friendly message from the Moderator. If you

 From what I can make out, a message on the Club Log forum will often 
get the problem sorted out.

I've certainly found that Michael (G7VJR) is very responsive and willing 
to sort out things and the messages on the forums indicate that Alan 
(5B4AHJ) responds quickly to any concerns raised about validation.

What happens when you upload your ADIF is that you get an emailed 
message back telling you the callsign, date and time of the QSO and what 
you had the country logged as, and then what Club Log thinks is correct. 
  If you can provide evidence that you are correct then an exception is 
created to cover the new information.

One of mine was as follows

Callsign: RK6FS Date: 2000-08-27 10:45:14   Band: 10QSL: Yes
Your log claims GEORGIA. Overriding your choice and using EUROPEAN RUSSIA.

Now, I reckon Club Logs is right about that, so I've amended my log to 
show what I now believe is the correct country.  If I didn't, I could 
contact 5B4AHJ and provide whatever proofs I had to say it wasn't as the 
system thinks, and these conversations are going on so it's not that 
Club Log is ignoring what you think it's just that it believes its own 
database until someone provides evidence to the contrary.

Re: [digitalradio] Clublogs... see standings versus others

[DANNY DOUGLAS]

I had a bunch of pages of rejected contacts, where it tried to say they were 
different countries, than I had logged.  They were correct on a few of the 
eastern block USSR countries, when all the changes were being made there.  Most 
of those have been straightened out, and the only mistakes now are such things 
as its refusal to accept mobile contacts such as stateside/M4, still wanting to 
log them as England.  Changes are being made on a constant basis, and each one 
brings the data base more up-to-date, and correct.  If one has definite proof, 
such as a QSL card, or some data base showing the correct country, then club 
log guys are more than willing to straighten the items out.
But, you cannot expect them to be 100 prcent correct, as of this stage.  I had 
a couple of contacts with expedition guys, usign separate calls, at the 
expedition sites, and they bounced them, until I proved that indeed they were 
correct, and it came out I was the only one (so far) who uploaded those 
particular calls to the system.

  ClubLog is a GREAT facility. The best bit is that it helps you to correct

The various WSJT modes can be quite entertaining, especially if you are

Ok - I see the point now.

I do have 3 of the PK-232MBX's and use them much.
One of them I got back in 1988 or so new for about
300 bucks. Used for the most part for AMTOR and
some what for HF and VFH packet.

Would be just the thing to run on my old 8088 system.
May have to take a look at it.

[digitalradio] NEW : Digitalradio 2010 Challenge via Clublogs

[Andy obrien]

I have arranged for clublogs.org  (http://www.clublogs.org) to add
Digitalradio as a "club" .  This means you can connect  to their web
site, registered, and then upload your log .  The upload will be an
ADIF upload.  If you need help with that part, just let me know, it is
quite easy.  You also need to add "digitalradio" as a club you belong
to.  To do that click on CLUBS and pick digitalradio from the list.
You can add other clubs that you belong to, also.Once you have
done that you will be able to participate in a variety of challenges.
One will be between members of digitalradio, and an other can be
digitalradio versus others groups/clubs.  I am particularly interested
in a 2010 challenge for "data" QSOs.  Clublogs.org will allow you to
filter your log and see QSOs and  DXCC entities worked by mode (CW,
SSB , or DATA) .  So upload your log periodically and see where you
stand versus other people and how we stand versus other clubs.  After
you upload your log and join a club, it can take some time before your
data starts to show.

"About Club Log
Introduction by Michael G7VJR

Club Log is a web-based application that uses a large database to
analyse amateur radio log files, which are uploaded by users all over
the world. Using the logs, it is possible to offer band-mode league
tables, efficient log search tools, analysis for DXpedition planning
purposes and most wanted lists for DXCC entities (including by date,
band or mode for example).

There is a great deal of information that can be mined and analysed in
a standard ADIF file. Club Log can provide empirical propagation
charts, and give back to its users the ability to find "wanted" DX
spots, identify QSLing gaps and perform other analysis of their logs
which might be hard to do with normal logging software. Through Club
Log, I also host online log search systems for significant
DXpeditions.

One of the driving principles of Club Log is to store as many QSOs as
possible, as this makes the reports and statistics more meaningful and
representative. Everything in Club Log depends upon analysing real
QSOs, and or this reason I am very grateful to everyone who
participates. If you have not joined yet, I warmly invite you to sign
up and join the action! It is completely free."

Phil,  Easypal is a whole different world.  Makes MMSSTV appear antique.
Give it a try some time.

AW: [digitalradio] What's new in SSTV ?

[Siegfried Jackstien]

Easypal and mmsstv are totally different ..

mmsstv is for "analog" sstv . every tone stands for a pixel in the picture

Easypal is "digital" sstv

The pixels (or any other data) is computed with error correction and other
things .

The whole thing is the transmitted in packets (or better say segments)

On the receiving side the segments are stored and brought together as one
file

If there are bad segments (or some are missing) the receiving station can
send a BSR

That is bad segment request . the sending station now repeats only the
missing parts

If everything is received well the file is displayed .

So easypal gives you 100% copy (or nothing)

With easypal you can not only transmit pictures .

You can send ANY digital file ..

Text, pictures, and software

So maybe this is a bit of help for you ..

I see you mentioned Easypal.  How is it in comparison to MMSSTV?

So, it has been a while since I have seen anything NEW in SSTV. The flurry
of activity around narrow SSTV was fun. So was the Easypal stuff. What is
the latest?

[digitalradio] Time for a "Digital Skimmer" ?

[Andy obrien]

I've been playing around with CW Skimmer , again.  I'm 10 days in to
my "trial".  Previously I had tried it and gave up because I was not
too impressed with the CW decoding ability compared to that of
Multipsk ..  This time I have used it a bit more and learned more
about how to use it.  In combination with the reverse beacon network
(http://www.reversebeacon.net/) , plus some useful ways to use it with
Spotcollector and an SDR ,   I'm quite impressed with what can be
done.  Now I'm thinking maybe its time to develop something like a
Digital Skimmer.   PSK Reporter, and application specific things like
PSK "Broadband decoding" in Winwarbler, or  Superbrowser in DM780,  or
 "Panoramic" modes in Multipsk , come close ...but not quite.

To have an equivalent of CW Skimmer for digital modes , we would need
the following...

Ability to detect and decode all common digital modes via RS ID
Detection over a wide frequency range  10 kHz -200 Khz, multiple bands
at same time (with an SDR panadapter).  Multipsk can do some of this
now.
Recognition of any "CQ de K3UK" type call
Placement of any  "QRL "  on waterfall or band map
Placement of any 5NN or 599 on waterfall or band map
Placement of detected  callsigns on the waterfall (some apps can do
this already) or on a band map
Mouse controlled narrowing/widening of the audio frequency range
played via PC speakers.
A web site to accept all these spots without maps (like
reversebeacons.net) that is searchable by call and band.  PSKreporter
is good but maps make it too resource dependent.  Hamspots would be
better suited.

The key would be the ability to integrate "skims"  with  one central
on line repository and the local Telnet server capability that CW
Skimmer has.
