(duck) Q1 With ALE can 'I' send a message via a second station ... eg send to g0abc via m0abc for example ... assuming the station -m0bos- knows how to contact g0abc .. on the same band and frequency for example.. not via the www !can a message be qsp automatically ? Q2 if so, what is a good simple software to use (win-xppro based) tnx - G .. Looks like only 2 prog's ??

If you link with one of the ALE HFN Pilot Stations, you can relay a text message through it to any other station that can be linked to the same HFN Pilot Station with ALE simultaneously on that same channel. The text relay command is called Forward. The syntax of the command text is: !CMD FW CALLSIGN MESSAGE Upon receiving this command from you, the HFN Pilot Station will immediately call CALLSIGN via ALE on the same channel and link with the target station. Then it will send an AMD containing the MESSAGE text you sent as the last part of the command line. Q2 if so, what is a good simple software to use (win-xppro based) There are 2 software ALE controllers available for hams: PCALE and Multipsk.
