You may never convince most hams to personally use Winlink, but I
believe there's a way for you to convince most hams that Winlink will

adoption of the ARESCOM restructuring proposal, we can

Actually, in some respects, it is the FCC who understands,

It costs money to regulate the airwaves, and there are a
lot of interests out there willing to provide whatever

The problem is not that we mind any opposition to what we are doing.
It gives us an opportunity to tell our story. The problem is not the
protocol we use, be it Amtor, Clover, Pactor, SCAMP or what comes
next, and next after that, nor is it the fact that we stopped using
fully, machin
Steve I will pick a bone with you on this statement. Because you are using
a proprietary modem that costs over $1000.00 you are slowing the spread of
emergency communications in ARES. Contrary to popular belief not all hams
are millionaires who can just go out and plop down a couple of thousand

I am directly involved in Winlink, ARES EMCOMM and

If you are looking for an argument about hams being self-regulating you are
not going to get one. The FCC should tell hams, "You own the bands. Use them
as you want. The FCC is only going to step in when you hams report (1) an
illegal presence on the bands, or (2) egregious violations of good prac

mention SCAMP, is this downloadable software?

I am dissapointed to see you revert to "the root cause of the QRM is
PSK operators opening their receivers to 3 kHz". This is factually
incorrect, as we have discussed here many times. The root cause is
semi-automatic stations without busy detectors, such as Winlink
PMBOs running Pactor. Whe

Where can the SCAMP software be downloaded? This has been ask several
times and noe one seems to be willing to answer. Everything that I
have found on the web points to the RDFT for HDSSTV. If SCAMP is the
same as HDSSTV then you will have to have a very fast computer to
operate (1.2 gig or b

Dr. White I am glad to see that were getting away

The upper limit is 100,000 bytes. However, very few people use that

There is no conflict between those statements, and no bias:
A Winlink PMBO running Pactor is going to occasionally QRM ongoing
QSOs whether or not the PBMO operator is a "good guy". The PMBO is
running unattended, and lacks the busy detector needed to avoid QRM
generation. Transitioning the P
