[digitalradio] PSKMail Windows server?
Is the software for the PSKMAIL sever side Linux based only ? I thought it would be useful if we had half-dozen more servers in North America but having to run Linux may dissuade some. Andy K3UK
Re: [digitalradio] PSKMail Windows server?
Yes, the server is linux only at the moment. Ultimate goal is to use a LAMP server without a GUI in future, but fldigi needs the GUI :) We may also port the server to java some time, but we have to do it step by step. BTW, it is quite easy to install a server on UBUNTU, The installation proces has been automated. Most of the trouble is to get the fldigi/trx combination running, the rest is easy. 73, Rein PA0R -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Andy obrien k3uka...@gmail.com Gesendet: 31.03.09 14:19:31 An: digitalradio digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Betreff: [digitalradio] PSKMail Windows server?

[digitalradio] Another what is this mode question
I was listening to some stuff last night on 40M, and it was clearly 500 Hz wide and about 16 discrete tones, but it was not Olivia and I couldn't find anything else that would decode it either. Tried Contestia and RTTYM and various settings of Thor and DominoEX. The signals looked and sounded a bit different from Olivia - with Olivia the spots on the waterfall seem to be more or less random, whereas with the mystery signal they seemed to be more clustered around a frequency a little below the center of the group. And seemed to have more of a pattern to them. Jim W6JVE

Re: [digitalradio] PSKMail Windows server?
Since so few hams need to install servers, perhaps this could be one of the rare exceptions where some of us might consider actually dedicating a computer to Linux, for this special application? Most hams here in the U.S. would likely be accessing the server with a MS Windows based OS as that becomes available. If PSKmail became popular, we might need a fair number of servers, although some could be on standby. If I understand PSKmail correctly, it is possible to set up ad hoc servers as needed. You do not have the centralized politics that is done by design with other systems. Individuals and groups use their independent judgment when and where placement is made for a server. For example, some servers could be on standby and be activated for an emergency situation. You could also use MF and NVIS type operation that is not done much with other systems although it may require a better protocol than PSK for consistent results. 73, Rick, KV9U Andy obrien wrote: Is the software for the PSKMAIL sever side Linux based only ?

You do not have the centralized politics that is done by design with other systems. Individuals and groups use their independent judgment when and where placement is made for a server. For example, some servers could be on standby and be activated for an emergency situation. You could also use MF and NVIS type operation that is not done much with other systems although it may require a better protocol than PSK for consistent results. 73, Rick, KV9U Andy obrien wrote: Is the software for the PSKMAIL sever side Linux based only ?

But it's possible with a fake X server such as Xvfb. Excerpt from Xvfb(1): Xvfb is an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory. Here's how you'd use it with fldigi: ssh remote-host Xvfb -ac :99 fldigi -display :99 Debian (and I expect Ubuntu as well) has a convenient shell script wrapper for this, xvfb-run: xvfb-run fldigi -display :99 This ssh command runs fldigi on a remote host and also forwards fldigi's xml-rpc port so that you can then control it with fldigi-shell (or other client): ssh -L 7362:localhost:7362 remote-host xvfb-run fldigi -display :99 You could in addition forward port 7322 to tunnel the ARQ connection so that the pskmail server can be run locally. I'm guessing that you manage the remote pskmail server and fldigi using VNC. If that's only because you need to interact with fldigi, you may find that the xml-rpc interface has all you need, and that you can use the above method to simplify the setup somewhat. A headless fldigi can be very useful; for example you could run a fldigi/pskmail server on a Marvell SheevaPlug or a Beagle Board. Take a look at the xml-rpc methods (fldigi --xmlrpc-list) and let us know if there's anything that could be added for pskmail. The main thing that's missing right now is functions to change RTTY and Olivia parameters (I plan to add them RSN), but I don't think pskmail uses these modems. 73, Stelios, M0GLD.
Re: [digitalradio] PSKMail Windows server?
Tnx Stelios... that is very good news, I was not aware of the Xvfb server. Some reading necssary. Most pskmail servers are indeed run headless, and remote controlled via VNC. Once they are running they need no maintenance, and the GUI uses resources which are unnecessary for the function they perform...

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.

Re: [digitalradio] PSKMail Windows server?
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.

MixW too. Andy K3UK

What software seems to be most popular @ this time You mean today? Or last week? Seriously, a lot of people get started in digital radio with Digipan and PSK31 on Windows. Or do RTTY with MMTTY and Windows. Then many move on to multimode programs. I've been talking to lots of hams lately who use HRD Ham Radio Deluxe with DM780. Haven't tried it yet myself. I've been using MultiPSK, which has a pretty intimidating user interface but does an awful lot of modes if you want to try them all. I still occasionally talk to people using MixW. Then there is fldigi, which is one of my personal favorites, mainly because it does a lot of modes and works under Linux and Windows both. I prefer Linux but keep Windows around so I can run the software that doesn't work under Linux. Jim W6JVE

[digitalradio] New ALE Yahoogroup
I have decided to start a yahoo group specific to ALE. There is already a Yahoo Group that is dedicated to PC-ALE in the form of HFLINK. This site is full of many very helpful hams but I am frustrated by the almost clandestine approach that this Yahoo group takes. The group is heavily moderated and access to PC-ALE requires membership to the yahoo group. While the owner of that group is free to run their group in any way they want, I feel that this approach is simply stifling the growth of ALE on HF and essentially making ALE via PC-ALE a private ham mode under control of one ham. I hope that one day the HFLINK will have less restrictive , more public domain, practices and an Open ALE Yahoo Group will not be required. The new group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ALEradio Discussion of ALE for hams and SWL's using PC-ALE and/pr Multipsk
