2006-04-02 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien
The use of a UI-View server as a dedicated DX alerting system seems to be evolving. Check http://www.obriensweb.com/uiview.jpg for a picture of some activity today. It would be nice to get more activity. It was first started as a way for stations looking for experimental digital mode

This net was going along ok. I was copying both US and European stations quite well. Then, one of the automatic unmanned QRM machines came on. In this case it was Pactor, but could of been anything really. There must have been an urgent message to get through, and the entire internet was down.

There are some commercial -non ham- RTTY signals that are in the clear , mostly from weather stations and ships, but not many. They use a different setting from amateurs. Hams use a RTTY setting of 170, commerical use 425 or 850. The software you mention may not support the non ham modes.

That's cool. MT63 works like that a lot, too. I'm sorry about my negative remarks, I should have thought before posting. Those opinions belong on that other list, and all the endless arguing about that stuff is why I left this list a few months ago. I strongly disagree with the existence of

This is an old list and frequencies/times change but it will give you an idea. Also, you might want to search for the free software MultiPSK it a has a zilllion different modes and it will do the varying speeds and shifts of RTTY. You can also use it to copy weather charts sent to ships. of

Craig, the best Olivia frequency reference is at www.hflink.com just go there and click on the Olivia frequency link. 500/8 seems to be the most common on 40M. Andy K3UK - Original Message - From: Craig Cook To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,

Andrew: Can you describe your digital station setup, please? As I set mine up I'd like to learn from what you are using so that I may maximize effectiveness. I am guessing that it is not merely the Olivia 1000/32 mode that allowed you to copy through the Pactor QRM but also some

Can anyone explain WHY we keep trying to run nets, make contacts etc in a portion of the band which has long been used for automatic pactor stations? Have been making more than a few contacts, mostly OLIVIA, using the portion of the band right above 14070, like 14073 and up... John VE5MU

Hi John, Hope you are well. I suspect because it was a quiet freq and people are supposed to listen before transmitting? It was also a cw/rtty band portion long before it was a pactor portion, so the long been used argument does not apply. Think it is problematic as alot of modes claim freq

Well, I was CQing around 7073 around 0430, and I kept seeing ZS6W or maybe ZS6WN and portions of my callsign, I think. Never heard a peep or saw anything on the waterfall. Thought I heard the tell-tale startup song of Olivia twice. No other action, at least as far as I know. QRN was quite bad, and
