All,
Had an opportunity to do some weak signal testing with KH6TY. Signals were in
the noise both ways and stayed consistent throughout the test. It was the
perfect opportunity to test for sensitivity; ionospheric distortion aside.
We tested Olivia 16/500, MFSK16, DomnioEX4 and DominoEX8 FEC.
Rick,
Conditions were excellent for weak signal testing.
MT63-1000 was not printable by the time the band had started going out. Olivia
16/500 proved to be the best. We tried DominoEX 4 (about the same wpm as Olivia
16/500), but copy was not as good as Olivia. We then tried DominoEX 8 with FEC,
Tony,
You have done the tests and found that MT-63 is not very good at
handling weak signals compared with other modes. Is you recent on air
testing to determine that or some other parameters, such as ability to
handle interference, etc.?
By the way copying both you near noise level, and Skip,
Will try MFSK16 instead. 7 dB better than MT63-1000

Sholto,
I have been planning on using Pocket Digi on my cell phone for awhile but
haven't gotten around to really doing it. However, I have dug up a bit of
info. You want a phone with an Enhanced Mini USB (EMU) connector. My phone is
an ATT Tilt (aka HTC Kaiser, ATT 8525 and two or three ot
Ah ha well that would point to something I guess.
Yeah I'm aware that 20 m digi is best but there are remember very good times
to be had on the forgotten band 30m, I was talking from a voice perspective
but it seems sad that the band seems mostly unusable.
Ahh well roll on the SF and the New Sola

Your signal is in the noise. Hope the band changes...

All,
QRV 14106.0 USB / MT63 1K / long interleave. Time is 22:55 utc, March 20.
I'll be here for a while...

I use Pocket Digi on my iPaq 1940 pda and it works FB but I was
wondering if anyone knew a pda device/smartphone which has audio input &
output available on a headphone jack? My iPaq only has output so for
input I have to acoustically couple the sig which is not optimal.

Kim,
For a "dial scale" for LSB, run DigiPan (www.digipan.net).
In Configure>Band, set the Spectrum Start frequency 3 KHz higher than the known
watering holes, put a dot in LSB, and DigiPan will display the correct RF
frequencies above the waterfall. For PSK31 on 20 meters, use a Spectrum Start
Last night I heard no signals at all on 40. I thought it was because of a solar
flux of 68 and k index of 2. Today I'm not so sure what's going on. The band
changes are supposed to begin March 29th. Maybe people are waiting for that.

You're going to have problems with 30M down because all transmissions are in
USB. Best place for signals on 20M are around 14076-14078. On 30M 10139=10141
and 40M 7036-7039.

The bands don't seem to be dead from north central U.S. I have used WWV
since I was around 12 years old and still do, almost on a daily basis.
Right now I can just barely hear WWV on 20 MHz, but 15 is S9 +10 dB, 10
MHz is S9 + 30 dB, and 5 MHz is S9 + 10 dB. I consider those signals to
be quite
Thanks Ken,
I used your suggestion. I never hear WWV very often because the bands are so
dead.

I know this is digi related group but having just got my 135 foot doublet
back up after new year storms. What is going on on 40M. Is it me or is
there no English speaking hams on this band during the day. Used to be lots
of UK net's on during the day and could work all over UK / Ireland and EU.
