Yessir! I believe that http://groups.google.co.uk/group/eupskclub?hl=en-GB will work for the overall stuff. I also belong to EPC. I have EPC#058 and have found them to be a nice group of folks from what I've read.

H. I just think it's just a habit carried over from RTTY, since PSK is keyboard-based like RTTY. I've read some of the replies on this to you; still looks like keeping it looking like RTTY. BTW, your DM780 program is causing quite a stir amongst the EPC membership. Looks like MixW is going to fade off into the sunset, Sir.

Watching 20m PSK at the moment, why do so many users send in uppercase! PSK uses varicode, lowercase is *so* much faster. PSK63 + Uppercase seems to defeat the aims of the game. >SNIP< >SNIP<

It would be trivial to do and would remove that overhead from PSK. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ... in sunny & warm Florida :-) ~~~ Thank our brave soldiers this season: http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1024.html ~~~ URL: bibleseven (dot) com

Pah! Watching 20m PSK at the moment, why do so many users send in uppercase! PSK uses varicode, lowercase is *so* much faster. PSK63 + Uppercase seems to defeat the aims of the game. Really it's down to the programmers - let's make the users aware that lowercase is sent much faster. I do this in my Macro Editors. I guess we could add a small option to show the efficiency of the user's input - as-is versus all lowercase. FWIW I had a QPSK-125 QSO with RW3DQC - QSO was over before I realised what was happening, he's an excellent operator! Simon Brown, HB9DRV
