Andy, yes I saw it tell you that you were connected, and then the server asked 
for your update. The update info is only there for a short time and then the 
server will clear the info out... Well at least you got it to work good, 
hopefully when the new version of server comes out I can get mine updates.

Russell, your station responds to em like I am "connected" and I am
not. Thus when your server is asking me to update the record, I can't
because I am not connected.

After a few weeks of WINMOR testing, where I exchanged brief emails
directly with a number of hams, PSKMAIL is going to take some getting
used to. Thanks to Rein I got the programs set-up and have had good
PSK250 paths during the day time to WB5CON. So, when I checked in to
the WB5CON mail server and asked for my mail, I thought I would maybe
get a brief email from Rein or some ham that uses PSKMAIL. I was
surprised when my first email QUICKLY (compared to WINMOR) started to
scroll in on 30M...

Your msg: 8032
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 18:45:44 -0700
From: "Verizon Wireless" 
Subject: Meet a Few Representatives from Customer Service

snip...

I forgot that PSKMAIL is a full email service, you can get ALL your
email via PSKMAIL, all your email that goes to the reply address you
specify in PSKMAIL set-up. The PSKMAIL Gods must have arranged a test
today because my home internet service is down due to a wind storm. I
was able to use PSKMAIL via ham radio to check my mail.

Using PSK250, I am not always able to make a "connect" to a server
despite moderate signals, but it does appears to be more robust than
current versions of WINMOR. I'll play around some more.

Hello,

I have been talking to a ham about WinLink 2000, used for email via HF Radio. 
He has a WinLink server in California. He has thousands of emails passing 
through his server every day. WinLink is designed to use the expensive hardware 
TNC PACTOR I,II and III. It is great for emergency communication. Most Hams can 
not afford $1,100 to $1,600 for a the PACTOR III. This is where WINMOR comes 
in. WINMOR is a software solution using a soundcard connected to a HF radio via 
SignalLink interface, possibly other interfaces in the future. WINMOR could be 
a good solution for the client side but possibly not the server side. It does 
not appear to ready for primetime but looks very promising according to hams 
who are in the know. Pactor took over 15 years to get to its current evolution 
and the work was done by a very capable team of engineers. Building a software 
solution via a soundcard is a big challenge.

I would like to know any of you have experience with WINMOR and or WinLink. I 
am one of those hams that does not have the funds for an expensive TNC but 
would like to experiment with WINMOR.

Group members will have to forgive a few 
members here who appear to harbor some personal hostility regarding 
the SkipNets, and Packet radio in general. To 
find out more about the SkipNets without getting flames stirred up here, 
please contact me off-list for details.
 
As it stands today, the Skipnets transport 
miscellaneous bulletin traffic to keep the system exercised. There is some 
personal messaging, but there is a great deal of underutilized capacity for 
more point-to-point messaging between amateurs.
 
No non-ham or 3rd-party traffic is transported by 
the Skipnets, but ham-to-ham communications are definately 
encouraged.
 
A new HF network roughly modeled on the SkipNets is 
currently under development, but the first servers will probably not appear for 
some months yet. There are still numerous issues to resolve. In the mean-time, 
participation in the SkipNets are a good way to get up to speed on the basic 
concepts behind a global, independent, all-ham radio communications 
network.
 
Again, due to the hostility here, please take all

Hi Rick, well I don't know how to get my server listed on that site, it up and 
working most of the day till about 9:00 PM my time. I have had a few 
connections  when I was on PSK125, it seem to woke fine, and band condition do 
change thing a lot, I can have the program change modes and bands. I was hoping 
to get some bulletin information added to the server but I have not worked on 
that yet, hope to soon. I was thinking if I could get to a point where if 
someone connect and needed the weather for say a city that just by inputing a 
zip code the server would look up the weather via the internet a and then send 
it out as part of a short message to the station that asked for it, but I'm no 
programmer just a button pusher. OK hope the bands get better for us all.

  Hi Russell,



Are there many other PSKmail stations on the air that are not being 

listed on the mailserver site?



http://pskmail. wikispaces. com/PSKmailserve rs



The only stations for the U.S. that are listed at the moment are:



WB5CON

KD5WDQ

KD4QCL



I think it was KD4WDQ that I have triggered a few times when doing a 

call up of the servers on 10148, but only WB5CON has been strong enough 

to actually connect to. It seems to take a pretty good signal to make 

this work well.



Do you find that the 250 baud rate works most of the time about as well 

as the 125 baud rate? Probably less affected by Doppler? But would be 

more affected by ISI multipsk?



Without having an automatically adjustable protocol, all the modes are a 

compromise much of the time. And the faster modes just can not connect 

when slower modes would work, even though very slow. But slow is better 

than zero throughput like we often had with 300 baud packet and why that 

mode never became usable unless you had a very stable MUF type of path. 

 From what I can tell, a lot of the Pactor 2 and 3 operation is done 

this way because 100 baud PSK is quite susceptible to ionospheric 

conditions we often have on HF.



73,



Rick, KV9U

Well I tried to look up for SkipNet as well and could not find much about it. 
Maybe Rein can find out some more about it, and if so PSKmail with SkipNet 
could work togeather and get a network of more servers on the air.

  I have to concur with Rein. The impression we have been given in the

(Special Temporary Authorization) . Do a search on ARRL's web site to see 

the number of  references on anything current. My most recent search 

came up empty.



If there really is a network that can be accessed by individual hams, 

then one would expect the proponents to frequently mention the 

frequencies on the various bands, the method of access, any procedures 

to send messages, etc. Curious that this never happens.



What is important about PSKmail is the many features that are simply not 

available on any other system:



- it does not rely on 300 baud FSK packet and can use any modulation, 

including potentially future adaptable modes

- works with sound card technology and only a simple interface required

- moving toward cross platform with the addition of the javaPSKmail 

software with fldigi

- can set up ad hoc servers on short notice by anyone, not just those 

who operate a centralized system

- can operate on VHF as well as HF



And here is something that I just found out from Rein:



PSKmail can be set up as a closed system without any access to the 

internet, if you don't want it to have such access. It can act as a 

server for a local  or regional group, etc.



If possible, this discussion may be quite valuable on the group.

Rick, Well I went to find the call of the other station close to you and it was 
not on the list today I will keep a lookout for it, I have seen you connect to 
Fred (WB5CON) at times, the band has not be too good but if you would like for 
me to QSY to another band so you can connect I would be glad just let me know. 
My server has been on 10.148, was using PSK125 but now I'm using PSK250, it 
beacons avery 20min starting at the top of the hour. My station antenna is a 
Butternut so its not the best.

  Russell,



Where is the Wisconsin one located? I live in SW Wisconsin, but my 

understanding is that there are 3 PSKmail stations listed as active in 

the U.S.,? At least on the 10.148 frequency. The main one I can 

sometimes reach is WB5CON in Mississiippi, but not easy to do on a 

consistent basis. What we need are many more stations on different 

bands. Especially would like to see some NVIS stations on 80 meters. 

Could even have VHF stations as there is at least one in a large city, 

but outside the U.S.



Is anyone considering becoming a server station? If the Windows client 

gets PSKmail chat, we would be able to have both e-mail and peer to peer 

messaging using ARQ and could use on VHF as well as HF. That is not 

available with any other system, much less a completely open system 

fully GPL'ed. This is the only decentralized system that I am aware of 

that can do all these things.

[digitalradio] Pskmail Server in U.S.

2009-05-16 Thread Russell Blair

I was taking a count today of Pskmail Servers in the U.S. and there are four 1 
in Mississippi, 2 in Texas, 1 in Va, 1 in WI, and one in western Canada. 
Hopefully there will be more users as time goes on and the word gets out and 
more people start getting out and needing to use the mail servers.

Hi Russel,


Here is the list of servers with frequencies, scan tables etc:
http://pskmail. wikispaces. com/PSKmailserve rs

Here is a map showing where the current servers and clients are:
http://hermes. esrac.ele. tue.nl/maps/ pskmailers. php

The frequencies are listed as center frequencies, thats dial frequency +/- tone 
offset in fldigi (depending on used sideband). One way is to set the dial to 
10.147, usb and 1000 Hz tone in fldigi (10147+1=10148) . So pse make sure you 
are looking for the servers in the right place. Also, a narrow filter helps.

All, 
 
I'd like to propose a couple of ideas to the group to encourage the use 
of those digital modes that tend to sit idle much of the time. Seems to be a 
lot of unanswered CQ's these days so a little enthusiasm may go a long way. 
 
I was thinking along the lines of something simple to remember like 
the mode-of-the- day; an MFSK Monday or Olivia Tuesday for example. Both are 
excellent chat modes that see little use. The ability to send images 
with MFSK16 certainly makes it unique. 
 
A QRP day might encourage those with power / antenna restrictions to experiment 
with different modes modes to improve their success. The idea of a digital mode 
QRP calling frequency would help; certainly works wonders with CW QRP. 
 
Any thoughts?

If PSKmail becomes popular here in the U.S., we will likely have many 
more servers than at present. Something that has been lacking with all 
other systems is the minimal use of the lower bands for NVIS operation. 
As long as there is a path close to (but not exceeding) the MUF, the 
signal quality will often be the best, but the longer paths may not be 
open, when shorter ones are open most of the time.

We have at least one group here in my state that attempts to use an 80 
meter 300 baud packet BBS but I know they have a lot of retries and 
probably time outs with the messages not always getting through on NVIS. 
This means that other protocols need to be developed since PSK250 is 
probably no better and maybe not quite as good as 2FSK300?

Another thought  is it possible to use PSKmail on VHF? It would seem 
like a good fit for moderate distance communication, local to maybe 100 
miles? Maybe even with FM and vertical polarization, which 99% of active 
hams already have available? Has anyone tried this in EU or other parts 
of the world?

Not able to get much of that happening here. The only server station has 
been wb5con so far. I pick up some other calls but not sure what they 
are doing. Just saw kd4qcl and seconds later saw kd5umw de kd5wdq. Maybe 
calling each other on the same frequency?

I am hoping that as I use it more, and we have an increasing number of 
active servers, this system could become very practical by having one 
program that can help with multiple needs. As I have said before, having 
one program that can do what otherwise would require many different 
programs, would make this a very useful digital system.

Hi Russel,

Please make sure you are using 10.148 as the center frequency. To do that I 
would set a dial frequency of 10.147 with USB on the rig (+- rig accuracy) and 
use a 1000 Hz offset (cursor frequency) in fldigi. Please also note that its a 
narrow mode and most servers use narrow filters so its very important to be 
right on top of the server.
One good method is to listen for the server beacon and then fine tune the rig 
frequency.

Hi Rick,

Great that you decided to try out the java client, good to hear that you had 
some success as well.
Yes, any server that receives a ping will respond. I see that WB5CON did answer 
your pings and that you were able to link and connect to that server.
I also see that you were able to list the files at the server, wasn't many

The server saying "Hi KV9U, pse update your record" is an indication that it 
lacks information about you (how to get your email for instance). You can enter 
settings through the options and then upload them to the server when connected. 
You can then access your pop email account, send email etc. You can also do 
stuff without updating any info on the server, browsing the web, getting camp 
sites, weather and much more.

Much of what you can do with the java client is in the fast start pdf that came 
with it, you may also have a look at the wiki where much of the information 
about the linux client is applicable, that info is available here: 
http://pskmail. wikispaces. com/operation

As you said the java client is not 100% complete yet and the TTY mode will be

I am not that knowledgeable about PSKmail yet, but from what I 
understand, if I go to the APRS tab and use the Ping button, any server 
stations on frequency that can hear me will respond back. So far, the 
only station that has ever responded has been WB5CON. At this moment, of 
the seven listed USA servers (includes Alaska), only WB5CON, KD5WDQ, and 
KD4QCL may be active based on the PSKmail server web status. WB5CON is 
about 750 miles from my location and on 30 meters that is about right 
for daytime propagation.

The other callsign I have seen that I think is attempting to connect, or 
is connecting to WB5CON, is KD5UMW from TX.

I am not completely understanding what you can do with PSKmail such as 
listing files, etc. Not much happens when I connect but maybe my 
connection is not good enough? I realize that the Windows version is not 
fully operational at this time, but it gives you a taste of the system.

The peer to peer feature of PSKmail is not available so you would have 
to connect with a server only. The ability to connect to a peer is vital 
from my perspective since I am primarily interested in the public 
service/emergency capabilities of these kinds of systems. Otherwise, you 
need multiple systems for e-mail, peer to peer, local servers, etc. and 
it is rare to find enough hams who are willing to do this.

Our local group is trying to piggyback off a "resurgence" of SSB 
activity here in the northern midwest U.S. to see if we can get interest 
in digital VHF FM using vertical polarization with Domino EX or any 
digital modes for that matter. If it proves possible to get some 
interest, we might be able to expose new hams to other alternatives. 
Only a tiny number have the slightest interest, but you have to start

Hi Rick,

Great that you decided to try out the java client, good to hear that you had 
some success as well.
Yes, any server that receives a ping will respond. I see that WB5CON did answer 
your pings and that you were able to link and connect to that server.
I also see that you were able to list the files at the server, wasn't many 
files there (only pings.log) but the listing worked :-)

Since so few hams need to install servers, perhaps this could be one of 
the rare exceptions where some of us might consider actually dedicating 
a computer to Linux, for this special application? Most hams here in the 
U.S. would likely be accessing the server with a MS Windows based OS as 
that becomes available.

If PSKmail became popular, we might need a fair number of servers, 
although some could be on standby. If I understand PSKmail correctly, it 
is possible to set up ad hoc servers as needed. You do not have the 
centralized politics that is done by design with other systems. 
Individuals and groups use their independent judgment when and where 
placement is made for a server. For example, some servers could be on 
standby and be activated for an emergency situation.

You could also use MF and NVIS type operation that is not done much with 
other systems although it may require a better protocol than PSK for 
consistent results.

The difference is:

for WL2K you need an account at winlink.org, and you can only do mail.

PSKmail gets your mail from your account at yahoo, and has a dozen more 
interesting uses for mobile stations, like IM and APRS.

Russell,
 
If you look at the fldigi HamLib selections, the TS-450S is listed as a "beta" 
version (which means it probably does not work! hi!)
 
Instead try using RigCat with fldigi and download the TS-450 xml file from this 
link: http://www.w1hkj. com/xmlarchives. html
 
Put the file in the Rigs folder in fldigi.files, configure for RigCat (the 
diamonds are sorta faint, so be sure they have color if need to be checked) and 
see if that works.

Russell,
 
If you look at the fldigi HamLib selections, the TS-450S is listed as a "beta" 
version (which means it probably does not work! hi!)
 
Instead try using RigCat with fldigi and download the TS-450 xml file from this 
link: http://www.w1hkj. com/xmlarchives. html
 
Put the file in the Rigs folder in fldigi.files, configure for RigCat (the 
diamonds are sorta faint, so be sure they have color if need to be checked) and 
see if that works.

I have it set up to use HAMLIB and have the TS2000 chosen in the drop
down list. I have that tiny diamond filled in that says PTT VIA
HAMLIB COMMAND . Rig control and PTT is thus on the same comm port.

[digitalradio] Log for WAZ and DXCC in contests ?

2009-02-19 Thread Russell Blair

Its better to ask the mass than to ask each list I think. Not avery one uses 
the same logging program.
I'm just asking if there is a logging program that can do this. insert in a XML 
spread sheet, from the DXCC (1S0 to ZS8) during a contesting or qsoing, keep 
track of DXCC total as well as Zones total worked, per band,and mode, all 
during the contest or just qso during the year. not to be used as a entry of 
contest logging. I just want to have to program do the work as I contest or 
QSO. I dont want to have download a all logging programs and install them just 
to see if they do what I would like. Thats all thanks for you responds. If not 
that OK to.

With the workload it's going to take me longer to learn mix-w
then 15 days.

Hi Guys,

I'm hearing some Q15X25 on 14.109 USB now. It's around 10:30 am
central standard time. If anyone wants to, you can connect to my
JNOS system (telnet www.langelaar. net), then go into CONVERS, that
way we can chat as we go type of thing. I may not be around all of
the time, but I'll try to be. That way we can better coordinate
our tests.

Sometimes you have to open the Windows volume control and
fiddle with it - some things may be turned off or turned down
low.

I've also had funny things happen when I turned on the check
box in fldigi that lets fldigi control the volume. That's in
one of the tabs for the sound card.

Then sometimes you have to fiddle with the two numbers near the
lower left corner of the screen that set the signal level range
and the minimum signal level.

Re: [digitalradio] MFTTY error '380'

2009-01-16 Thread Russell Blair
Yes I have been deleteing the program before I install the new one. Maybe 
Norbert can put some light on this,
 I need to get the Com-port1 to work, I have to use VOX, in the program it 
access the com port-1, because if I try to start MMTTY it sayes it cant star 
com port 1. MFTTY is just not keying the radio. The radio works with MMTTY, 
HRD, and Commander with MultiPSK on keying the radio all works fine.

The reason for a version change IS because something has changed. There are 
many reasons under Visual Basic for getting a run-time error message, and 
perhaps your reload then overwrote the older values the program was still 
using, and that is why it is working now.

Just my guess, not knowing the details of Norbert's code.

It is usually best when upgrading to delete all previous code, such as a 
.ini file, etc, but I do not know what or where MFTTY is writing to the hard 
disk, so deleting all the previous files before upgrading is not possible, 
and we are left with having the program just overwrite them.

Hi Siegfried

We are now testing the latest version 3.0.139 on 3591 usb
I have some wishes ; is it possible for Norbert to have the
version number printed on the web side ? Now you have to download
the software and look at the "about" to see if you have the latest one.

do you guys know how the thing with the pilot tone works??? ... norbert 
explained it to me in a mail
the pilot tone switches the receiving station to the right mode/speed 
with lower speed the performance is much better with lower signal
if you see a pilottone just make a rectangle with your mousecursor round the 
tone
hold the mousebutton pressed make your rectangle 
the soft looks how long the rectangle is and on whitch frequence the pilottone 
is
decoding should start very easy after that

both will turn on the Tx. I even tryed the VOX on the radio to see if that

My radio is a Kenwood TS450s with a comport cable on port #1 that work with 
other programs, Commanded does have the DTR set on. It looks like your 
DTR setting is not working.

Hi,

the MF Tele Type 3.0 Beta is released!
It took me 3 weeks of hard work to implement essential features.
Now it should be much easier to operate MFTT on any bands in SSB mode.

Here the News:
- Reduced CPU load at lower speeds

- Bandwidth of Tone-Matrix reduced (no longer compatible with V2.0 or 
lower)

- FFT Spectrum Display added 

- sending of Center-Frequency- Pilot-Tone added to ease initial tuning 
and detection of speed. Just select the Pilot tone in the FFT Display 
by "Click and Drag" (see screen shot of MFTTy home page)

- Two AFC Functions added: "Pilot-Tone- AFC" and "Regular-Signal- AFC"

- Tune-Meter Display added 

- Two Buttons added: "<" and ">" for manual fine tuning.

- Option added for changing "Tx Center Frequency" 

Feel free to download from MFTTy home page 
http://www.polar- electric. com/MFTT/

Your improvement suggestions and feedback about bugs is welcome.

Hello Russel and Rick,

I confirm: RX/TX in Packet + Kiss interface + part of the TCP/IP interface 
are not limited when APRS and Packet digipeaters (+ the responder + other 
part of the TCP/IP interface) are submitted to a licence.

You must push the "Unproto" button to TX in APRS or to connect in Packet.

Rick, Yes you might be right, the APRS and Packet will work in Unproto mode, I 
need to read some more about this and see why I can get the software to key the 
radio, Hower other programs does key the radio. just some setting somewhere.

Hi Russell,

I had thought that the Multipsk mode that required payment was some kind 
of digipeater built-in to the program. But shouldn't 1200 baud packet 
work without any time limit? I do not recall a time limit on the 
versions that I have used in the past.

Graham, yes it a Digi repeater on the ISS. I was using MultiPSK 4.11.1 but for 
me to get to work in the TX mode I would have to pay for the program, or you

Similary, I have used Multipsk's packet modes on both HF and VHF with 
success. With the advance of technology, I moved away from packet around 
15 years ago! It is just not robust enough for HF and can only go a 
short distance on VHF, compared with newer modes

What seems like an unfulfilled need is a framework similar to packet, 
with the ability to insert different modes as they are developed. You 
would not have to keep inventing the wheel over and over.

This would mostly have practical value for groups that want to set up a 
BBS system. For example, I have monitored the packets on an 80 meter BBS 
here in my state where most of the transmissions are retries. And this 
is during the day under NVIS conditions. A much more robust mode needs 
to be used. Then you would be able to send and receive direct or time 
shifted messages. This is the one thing we can not do with any other 
system, but there does not seem to be any interest in developing such a 
system.

At this time, it is true that a slower baud rate packet system could be 
used, such as the software 110 baud speed available in Multipsk. This is 
why hardware packet TNC's are a poor choice for our advancing technology 
and why almost no one uses them anymore. You are locked into a mode 
developed over 30 years ago with no FEC or ability to be adaptive for 
conditions. And yet, I admit that if you want a BBS system today, what 
other choices do you have?

Rick, KV9U

Can hear 1 or 2 stations, but not getting decode. Unsure about how to 
tune the signal, though.

Jim,

Thanks for taking the time to say hello on MT63. Had a short contact with 
NC5O after you went QRT.

I'll try to post the QRV notes earlier. Can't always plan ahead that far, 
but will do my best. Wish more of the group would check-into Andy's sked 
page -- it would make things easier.

Thanks again Jim...

Tony, K2MO

Russell,

As several others will likely point out, conversing with standard ALE
can be achieved easily . I am exaggerating a point but ALE's orginal
intent for amateur use was to use ALE to establish a contact and then
SWITCH to a mode best suited for conditions at the time. Thus you can
use ALE to scan and find a station and then switch to...say, PSK31 or
Olivia, CW, or even voice. 

Using the ALE software available (PC -ALE or Multipsk)you can converse
with the other station via some formats standard to ALE , they are
AMD, DTM , and DBM. Most use AMD at first and switch to DTM if
conditions require it.

The experience of most is that these formats, especially in PC-ALE,
are not very robust due to sound card calibration issues. I urge ALE
users to use ALE for the Automatic Link Establishment and then switch
to better communication tools (you mad need to QSY to the correct band
segments too). If you make a "link" with ALE, then you can almost
always expect that PSK31, MFSK16, DominoEX, CW, and Olivia will work
well on that same band.

I'm waiting for that next version of ALE software that makes the link
and instead of simple AMD /DTM options, the sofware would use SNR
information established while making the link and then display
digital modes suitable within that SNR. Then, up would pop an options
window that lists PSK, MFSK16, etc, etc.

Multipsk provides much of this already, albeit manually.

I will repeat my most frequent thoughts about ALE... there is nothing
better for establishing a link on the amateur bands and there is
nothing worse (than AMD/DTM with common PC souncards ) for conversing.

I'm putting together a little sked for APRS operations on GO-32.  
I've been listening, and there doesn't seem to be many hams in the 
region using it.

It seems that most folks have seen their own position report, and that
is it.  I'd like to see something other than my own packet :).

I'm working with some of my local hams to help them get on, but we'd
love to see some packets from Dayton and elsewhere in the country!  
So if you'll be there with your TMD7x0 or TH-D7A(g), and you don't 
have anything better to do on a saturday night, set it up for GO-32 
and send a few position reports!

my candidates are stuck on 1200bps, my own home station included.
