RE: [digitalradio] PSKmail
OK Walt, of course you are right... It is nice to have an arq mode available also for keyboarding. But I would prepare a complete document with the editor before sending it:) The pskmail k-to-k mode has not been tested properly, and should be regarded as experimental. But first tests have shown that it matches PSK31 typing speed, and will deliver the text unmutilated. Unless AMTOR ARQ, which did not have a 0% error guarantee. Pskmail uses a CRC-16 for each segment. It is nice to have to type your text only once even if the QSO is being jammed... I will not put time into jazzing up the user interface until people start using it (which may take a lot of time as nobody likes stuff that is free).

The conditions I operate under, when I use a data chat mode, I need 100% or near 100% error transmissions because of the nature of the information I am sending. If it is not received correctly, schedules could be missed causing loss of evacuation or instructions could be missed causing loss of life. While, as you say, normally ham radio traffic doesn't need to be error free, there are instances when it does. Therefore I would think that we would want to build modes that were 100% error free if possible so that they could be used in a worst-case scenario. Walt/K5YFW Need a Digital mode QSO?

RE: [digitalradio] PSKmail
The main Pskmail frequency is 10.148 kHz. In Europe you will find the servers of SM0RWO and PI4TUE there. Mode is PSK63, beacons on xx:00 and xx:03. The servers run 24/24. You may be able to hear the beacon of SM0RWO, who has the best antenna/power combination.. At the moment I can also see servers connected in Vancouver and Corinth, Tennessee, but it is unknown what frequencies they are using at the moment. 73, Rein PA0R On Mon, 2006-09-18 at 10:42 -0500, John Becker wrote: Where on the band can you find this?

Re: [digitalradio] 160 meter digital

The TX station was only able to copy parts of my transmissions but enough to go to DominoEX/FEC/11. I had suggested that if 11 baud did not work, then we should drop to 4 baud, but I don't think he copied that. I do admit that 4 baud is so slow to be nearly useless for keyboarding, but my goal is to find out what really works well on the lower bands with severe QRN which is pretty normal during night time non-winter conditions. I wonder if any of the Pactor modes can get through under those conditions. CW would have worked, but not real easily. At the power levels we were running, (I was at 25 watts), voice would not have been very practical. I tried a MT-63, but did not expect that it would attract anyone since it kind of blends into the QRN:) 73, Rick, KV9U Funny thing is, here I sit in north-central PA, and I could hear both you and the Texas station loud and clear.

Re: [digitalradio] 30M tonight
It must be he time of day... I have had a PSK63 pskmail link from my winter qth, a trailer park near Valencia, Spain, with SM0RWO in Stockholm for 2 months (January 15 to March 15) using a mobile setup with a fishing rod and 10 meters of wire on an RV. The distance was 1300 miles. The link quality on 10148 was excellent, signals ranging from S0 to S9. The link was usable from 8:00 until sometimes 23:00 local time, and was only hampered by pactor2/3 qrm and heavy splatter from the packet aprs channel on 1049.2. I used 20 Watts during the day time to send my aprs beacon via pskmail, and 80 Watts for mail when I had to work through pactor qrm. Using PSK31 you should have an easy shot on 30, also in the evening hours. 73, Rein PA0R On Tue, 2006-03-28 at 20:11 -0500, Andrew J.
