No link or image appears *unless* the message is displayed in HTML format. I hate Web mail with a passion, so all my Yahoo group messages come to my inbox, where Thunderbird filters them into group-specific folders. All those messages are displayed as plain text unless I *know* there's a reason to display them as HTML. This way it's very easy to see that what (if displayed in HTML) purports to be my bank's login screen is really a link to www.come-in-sucker.th. 73 Alan NV8A On 08/03/10 09:30 pm, Jeff Moore wrote: It's NOT an attachment - it's an embedded link.

So ROS is wider than needed to convey intelligence. So is RTTY. But it isn't SS. Your point is well taken, but not relevant to people under the FCC's jurisdiction. I don't see why not, actually. I understand from these posts that it is the individual American ham's responsibility to determine whether anything they do complies with the regulations. The fact that someone asked for guidance and received an answer that many believe to be wrong doesn't change that. IF someone got a knock on the door for using the ROS mode then I would have thought citing that formula as justification for believing the mode they were using was not SS would be a valid response. The onus would then be on the FCC/whoever to produce a valid counter argument. The fact that the mode was once described as SS by a non native English speaker could easily and plausibly be explained as a mistranslation. But the FCC has already written -- according to a document I found the other day but can't be bothered to look for again now -- words to the effect that the inventor says it's spread spectrum, and he should know what it is he invented, so therefore it's illegal on HF. ISTM that the only way to get around that one is to claim that the inventor is an idiot. Or perhaps that he was trying to big-note himself. 73 Alan NV8A

That little game of banning some from using it (for unknown reasons) was just about it for me. I received a few ROS transmissions within a week or two of the mode's appearance but have taken little interest since. I no longer have the software on my computer. It seems to me that the developer of the mode may have cooked his own goose: he declared it to be a spread-spectrum mode, and spread-spectrum is mot legal on HF in the USA. 73 Alan NV8A
[digitalradio] Why ROS?
Why this new mode? Advantages? 73 Alan NV8A

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Haiti a test for emcomms
I have heard a couple of the locals (i.e., Haitian residents) on the SATERN frequency, 14.265 (along with some deliberate interference!), also a ZR station portable /HH. One of the locals is operating with a long extension lead from a neighbor's generator, and the last I heard he had been unable to obtain a further supply of fuel. There seem to be some differences of opinion as to whether the repeater systems set up by the Dominican Republic team are operational. 73 Alan NV8A On 01/17/10 07:16 pm, aa777888athotmaildotcom wrote: And it seems some have found the test to be too challenging. As reported by this article on QRZ forums: http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?t=233290 8 hams fled the country after being attacked. Reported by telephone as opposed to radio!

How many have survived? Of those that survived how many are too busy fighting for theirs and others lives, i.e. simply concentrating on rescue, water, shelter and food? Of the remainder how many have any kind of workable station (equipment, power, etc.)? I suspect we will see zero to no amateur radio traffic from Haiti, emcomm or otherwise, unless someone gets on an airplane and brings it there. Gov't, humanitarian and media agencies are and will be there with Satcom and infrastructure repair capability before many or any hams get there. It seems Twitter has already outdone any other mode of communications for the masses. There is apparently some internet and wireless infrastructure left standing. --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Russell Blairrussell_blair86@ wrote: Andy, there is a learnning curve for PSKmail as well as ALE and Winmor and software for a PC, and power to run all this. but the phone nets maybe slow but all you need is a radio. hine site is all ways 20/20 to what we should have done.

Short hops from Haiti to servers on HF Well,this came across today. this fellow is active on the REGEN group, and runs a SWL program out of Radio Havana, I believe. IARU Region 2 Area C Emergency Coordinator, Arnie Coro, CO2KK, is coordinating a multi-national response by hams. There are organized nets on 7.045 and 3.720 MHz; amateurs are asked to monitor the frequencies, but to also keep them clear of non-essential traffic. Amateur Radio operators should also be aware that emergency traffic pertaining to the Haitian earthquake is expected on the SATERN frequencies of 14.265 MHz, 7.265 MHz and 3977 MHz, according to SATERN's leader, Major Pat McPherson. The Salvation Army is accepting health and welfare traffic requests on its Web site. As late as 9:45 PM local time (0245 UTC), we have not been able to contact any amateur or emergency services stations in Haiti, Coro said in an e-mail. Amateurs from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Venezuela are monitoring the 40 meter band frequency. We are still keeping watch on 7.045 MHz, hoping that someone in Haiti may have access to a transceiver and at least a car battery to run it, but so far. no HH stations have checked in. For a while this afternoon I listened on 14.300 and 14.313 to HH2JR Jean operating with power from a neighbor's generator and getting messages via phone patch to people in the US. He reported that there had been numerous aftershocks since the original, then reported another strength 5 shock at approx 1720 EST. 73 Alan NV8A
