Re: [digitalradio] PSKMail
Why not ask where the server sysops hang out? I mean the pskmail mailing list. Have a look here: http://www.freelists.org/archive/pskmail Here in europe we have plenty of servers but at the moment I see only two active servers in north america: http://hermes.esrac.ele.tue.nl/maps/pskmailers.php Hang in there, it works great when you actually have a path to a server 73 de Per, sm0rwo From: Alan ke4...@gmail.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, March 12, 2010 10:26:08 PM Subject: [digitalradio] PSKMail Hi all, I've tried to connect to any server and I've yet to connect. Maybe being here in western montana running a 160 loop has something to do with it. But, I do lots of psk qso's and a few other digi modes. I think I have everything setup but never can connect...It looks like a good thing but is getting frustrated trying to use pskmail...just venting..73, Alan
[digitalradio] Re: PSKMail
Hi Alan, If you cannot get a connect I would start by checking if any server hears you. The simplest and most robust process for this is to send a ping. I assume you are running jpskmail, the Java version of the pskmail client. If so, under the Link drop down menu you will find the Ping command. If any server listening on the frequency hears you you will get a reply from that or these (if several) servers. This tells you two things: the setup is working and the propagation is favorable. You can then progress onto a connect to a specific server, obviously one which replied to your ping. To check which servers are normally running and which mode and frequencies, first have a look at http://pskmail.wikispaces.com/PSKmailservers , then check the following page http://pskmail.wikispaces.com/pskmail_monitor for the latest heard servers to see if it is on air. The other option is to join the pskmail list here http://www.freelists.org/archive/pskmail and send an email to request a sked. Having an operator in front of the server for the first time is of great help. Hope this helps, 73s, John (VK2ETA) --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Alan ke4...@... wrote: Hi all, I've tried to connect to any server and I've yet to connect.

[digitalradio] Re: Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
I only read the group on the web, not by mail, and I don't see this message, only the complaints about it. From the addressee list in the copy attached to your post, which did not include my address, I would say this was sent directly to a list of addresses harvested some time ago, before I subscribed to the list. It was not sent through the list. So unsubscribing won't make any difference to your receiving further emails. The spammer already has your address. Possibly the security settings of the group could be tightened up to make it harder for spammers to see the membership list?

[digitalradio] Updated sked page news after site hack... a few changes
My K3UK Sked Pages are now restored after the site was hacked on Friday. For security purposes my ISP re-set my web site and deleted all files . The site has the same address but has been upgraded to a different server (supposedly better, faster). My apologies to the may users that were inconvenienced , thanks also to Joe N8FQ for keeping the back-up site running. the back-up site at http://www.electroblog.com/sked/ will eventually re-direct you back to the main site later this weekend. You will have to re-enter your callsign and a few other brief items. A few other changes.. Since the site had to start from scratch , some of the lesser know sked pages are not running because the files were deleted. The AVRA Sked page has been moved to the main site. AVRA members should now point their browsers to http://www.obriensweb.com/sked/ and click on the AVRA tab. Lighthouse , WAB and French sked sites have not been replaced. The FISTS page is shared with the QRP groups . QRP related tweets from QRPspots will remain directed to the FISTS page. The WARC-CC sked page is fully functional, now that I have restored that, I will work on updating the WARC-CC web page and restore the membership search able database, The digitalradio sked page is also restored with updated calling frequencies. Links to my various digital mode guides will be restored gradually over the enxt few days. My personal web page at http://www.obriensweb.com/ has been revamped to. The site hack did not do any damage, and most of the delay in restoring backups was due to my ISP needing to re-set my site. My ISP said that the hack involved sending of spam. I am not sure what was sent, if you are aware of any increase in spam to your email address, let me know. The increase in spam to the digitalradio yahoo group is an interesting coincidence but the 30-40 spam messages per day to digitalradio are being caught and not getting through to the list. The Sked pages ask for email addresses but they are optional and provided simply for hams to arrange skeds via email, if desired. If you are worried about the security of your email address, do not enter one in the sign-up cookie. I always use a gmail email address that is easily turned off if I get spam. I save my 'real email address for rare situations and never give that out to web sites. Thanks to the may users that support the site. FYI, the deleted user database has 2500 ham callsigns registered and we have regularly seen 100 our so simultaneous connections. That keeps my ISP's servers hopping with several gigs of data per week(!) being exchanged. Also nice to see mention of our pages in various ham magazines lately. Andy K3UK
