-Sam, you sent this message 7 years ago, today. I was just wondering if you ever got a ham license ?

You appeared to stop CQing after some time, since I lost you. I would have liked to have experimented more with the reception settings, but the transmission stopped! > > This is the first ever time that I have got ANYTHING from the ham bands (It seems my radio - a Grundig Satelit 400 is not too good for this job). I tried to get SSTV, Hell, voice, anything, but this was all I got, with PSK31. > > This is an amazing mode, since at times I had it perfect, whilst I was just optimizing my settings.

I had a feeling it was serial, since there was only three carriers (L, R and centre). I thought that MT63 and MFSK modes needed more subcarriers, so I guessed it wasn't these. > > I tried hell (I was in this program at the time), and it was too narrow to fit into hell properly (I've tried hell before with a CB transmitter and local reciever, and also from a cassette tape). > > > I think I've got my slant right now (In SSTV), but is there somewhere that I can go to to find out how to recieve all modes better, and how to identify them? > > > I am going to try and get some kind of ham licence, since I would have loved to have replied, and had a little conversation (Or whatever you do once you're connected - I've never found out, since I've never seen anything other than this CQ before) > > > > I'm going to have a go at recieving Nino at 13:00 on Sunday, and see if I get any further! > > > Samuel Hunt > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >
