KISS. Keep It Single Sideband. Not many can do AM and even fewer have linear amps for that. Ditto for HF digital. And the anoying thing about nets is the ionisphere can't tell time. That said, it is much easier to do coast to coast now with WebSDR. Go to websdr.org and choose a receiving site

I'd be interested in a classic computing net as well. I have 40 - 10 meters available on HF. Our area is lagging in digital repeater coverage, so no Fusion or DMR or D*Star for me just yet. 73, -Ed- AB8OJ On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 2:58 PM, Ben Sinclair via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: >

Here's an idle question with regard to the HP 7907 tape drive. The service manual says to adjust read preamp output (using a calibration tape) to 6.4V P-P. Generally, this is working quite well, but there is an occasional tape where I believe the signal levels have "faded" a bit, leading to the o

Is there a potential problem here? I have an 11/53 microPDP11 with a RQZX1 controller connected to a single DEC DSP3043 drive (535MB) and a single RX33 floppy. The autoconfigure setup in the RQZX1 puts the hard disk at DU0 and the Floppy as DU1.  OK.  I boot RT11 from the disk, V5.7. Works fi
