To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, March 31, 2009, 4:05 PM Hi Rick, Great that you decided to try out the java client, good to hear that you had some success as well. Yes, any server that receives a ping will respond. I see that WB5CON did answer your pings and that you were able to link and connect to that server. I also see that you were able to list the files at the server, wasn't many files there (only pings.log) but the listing worked :-) The server saying "Hi KV9U, pse update your record" is an indication that it lacks information about you (how to get your email for instance). You can enter settings through the options and then upload them to the server when connected. You can then access your pop email account, send email etc. You can also do stuff without updating any info on the server, browsing the web, getting camp sites, weather and much more. Much of what you can do with the java client is in the fast start pdf that came with it, you may also have a look at the wiki where much of the information about the linux client is applicable, that info is available here: http://pskmail. wikispaces. com/operation As you said the java client is not 100% complete yet and the TTY mode will be added, its on a list of things to implement :-) 73 de Per, sm0rwo From: Rick W <mrf...@frontiernet. net> To: digitalradio@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 9:23:49 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] PSKMail Windows server? I am not that knowledgeable about PSKmail yet, but from what I understand, if I go to the APRS tab and use the Ping button, any server stations on frequency that can hear me will respond back. So far, the only station that has ever responded has been WB5CON. At this moment, of the seven listed USA servers (includes Alaska), only WB5CON, KD5WDQ, and KD4QCL may be active based on the PSKmail server web status. WB5CON is about 750 miles from my location and on 30 meters that is about right for daytime propagation. The other callsign I have seen that I think is attempting to connect, or is connecting to WB5CON, is KD5UMW from TX. I am not completely understanding what you can do with PSKmail such as listing files, etc. Not much happens when I connect but maybe my connection is not good enough? I realize that the Windows version is not fully operational at this time, but it gives you a taste of the system. The peer to peer feature of PSKmail is not available so you would have to connect with a server only. The ability to connect to a peer is vital from my perspective since I am primarily interested in the public service/emergency capabilities of these kinds of systems. Otherwise, you need multiple systems for e-mail, peer to peer, local servers, etc. and it is rare to find enough hams who are willing to do this. Our local group is trying to piggyback off a "resurgence" of SSB activity here in the northern midwest U.S. to see if we can get interest in digital VHF FM using vertical polarization with Domino EX or any digital modes for that matter. If it proves possible to get some interest, we might be able to expose new hams to other alternatives. Only a tiny number have the slightest interest, but you have to start somewhere. 73, Rick, KV9U Russell Blair wrote: > Rick, I saw your call wile I was listening on 10.148 PSK250 is that a > server your.
