The angle of the sun there also shows exactly why I see a lot of 1s and 2s spotting stations on 160, an hour or so before the sunse/sunrise here, and we are on the same east coast. It makes it quite difficult for one or the other of us, when a DX or DXpedition says they are working the east coa

I can't speak for current conditions, but 6-7 years ago when I monitored 30M APRS packet on a UI-View map, mid-day reception on 30M was around 300 miles and at dusk.. 1700-2000 miles. On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 10:35 PM, Tony wrote: > > > Andy, > > It would be interesting to see the contrast betw

Andy, It would be interesting to see the contrast between grey line enhancement vs. mid-day reception when solar absorption is at it's highest level. Tony -K2MO - Original Message - From: "Andy obrien" To: "digitalradio" ; ; Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 6:08 PM Subject:

RS ID is wonderful... for calling CQ with most digital text/data modes. But remember to turn it off when using ALE. I've noticed several stations trying to link with RS ID on, and it fails most of the time because it interferes with the handshake. 73 Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA

Reed-Solomon identification – it is Google-able. A form of error correction or as we use it here, a form of mode /rate / number of tones etc identification. First pioneered in MultiPSK, now adopted by HRD, it sure takes the drudgery out of guessing what kind of tones you are hearing on the bands
