[digitalradio] Success ! QSOs with two new digital modes

2007-05-13 Thread Andrew O'Brien
Over the past 24 hours, I have had two successful QSO on two new digital modes, new modes for me. Last evening I had a QSO on 6 meters (my first non-repeater contact on 6M) using JT6M, I worked N4HN in North Carolina and then today on 6M I worked Bruce N5SIX using FSK441. I am currently using

It would be difficult to pause without notice with DV due to the latency issue. This is one of the reasons that I do not expect DV to ever become all that popular on HF. And if there are attempts to improve the sensitivity and robustness, the latency would have to become even more noticeable

If a short wave station is intefering, constantly, with licensed operations in another part of the world, they are not following international regulations to the letter. First, SWBC stations may NOT direct their signals to an area of the world wherein that frequency is assigned to other uses

Hi Gang, Got a strange one for you - If there is text left to be transmitted, the program will send all except the last word, no matter how long or short the message may be, until I hit Enter again. This happens not only with MixW but also IZ8BLY's Hellschrieber so can't blame the software. I

Guys let's not start yet another rant on bandwidth. All Bonnie was pointing out was that there is no limit on DV at this time. I really don't think anyone would run anything wider that a SSB signal anyway. John, W0JAB Your (trying to be) friendly moderator

Currently, there are vast areas of HF spectrum that currently have absolutely zero ham radio signals. We don't need to use very narrow bandwidth signals when these conditions exist. It is good amateur radio practice to develop digital voice modes, at any bandwidth, and to explore the

Now I'm not a big 12 meter guy but from what i remember it gets packed when open. On 10 meters 29.000 - 29.200 has classic AM, 29.2 - 29.5 used to have some satellite users ... IF you could show under OPEN band conditions it might work you might have something HOWEVER E-Skip can come and go

I would love to try a DV repeater on upper HF...10m soulds like the perfect spot. Repeaters are legal there and phone is legal so it should be? Also, on 17m don't go below 18.068, hihi. 73, Leigh/WA5ZNU

OK, I will ask... Am I correct in assuming that rules would need to change to allow automatic operation? Is it right to think the only improvement in communications would be extending ground wave (since this would happen when the bands were not open)? What would happen when the bands did open?

Hello, Howard I snipped everything out except for that quoted, because I couldn't think of a better reason than that asked in your question. So I say, YES! (even if it might not be so, but let 'em think it is). Just by that, inovation might surface in the process. If we don't use the

Hi Simon. I only allowed the HAM subtype of RTTY in PocketDigi mostly because of my time lack to port everything. The other reason is to keep the UI simple, which is probably the reason of your question. I asked the same question about used submodes as you couple of months ago here at this list.
