Some questions to consider:
How many hams are there on Haiti?
How many have survived?
Of those that survived how many are too busy fighting for theirs and others
lives, i.e. simply concentrating on rescue, water, shelter and food?
Of the remainder how many have any kind of workable station
So, just what is ham radio's rolw\e when it comes to health and welfare
inquiries? I have already received two emails from people asking if I have
access to any news about their family member's welfare in Haiti. I know the
old NTS system used to have a process for such traffic, but what do we

Hi Russell,
ALE does not need a computer for sending email or
calling other stations. There are many radios with
built in ALE.

All,
Recent path simulation tests indicate that Nino Porcino's PSK63F offers
better performance over PSK31 and PSK63 in a couple of areas. The most
significant improvement is it's ability to endure Doppler spread found on
Just a though, I am with you on the portable radio psk/rtty built in, that
would be fantastic. Say a little FT-817 or the 897 etc with a fold out
qwerty keyboard and display. Surely it wouldn't be hard to implement. I
think there are now software out for psk on a PDA which is about as compact
The problem is that if there are not enough of these radios (if built)

CW, possibly AM and SSB are the only dependable modes. In places where

Hi W2XJ,
All the DHS radios have ALE.

I'm thinking about the Haiti situation and the use of ALE stations for
emcomms. I'm also thinking about ARES and how it handles something
like the Haiti earth quake.
I was impressed by the turn out of ALE hams on the air in the past
couple of days , over 50 stations ready and 'alert. I am
True but their eggs are not in one basket. Also, DHS is in a better
position to use ALE compared to an ad hock arrangement. How much ALE
traffic has passed from Haiti? I know SSB is up but to an extremely
limited extent.

Anyone know why MARS is running a packet station on 14.265MHz?
It beacons every few minutes and this is what it is sending:
MARS de NN0HPB via ANH NRPM NFVN Ctl C UI Pid=F0 Len=68
NAVY/MARINE CORPS MARS STATION NNN0HPB/NNN0GAG ARVADA, CO. HPBBOX
Can MARS stations use packet wherever they
For US amateurs can MT63-1000 be used below 28MHZ or only above.

MT63-1000 can be used on any HF band and on 160 meters.
There is no bandwidth limit for Data for USA hams on HF.
MT63=1000 also complies with the 300 symbol per second rule.

Any takers?

There is the NUE-PSK device which now supports RTTY in addition to PSK31. You
still need a keyboard however.
In my opinion a better device is the Kantronics KAM XL or SCS PTC II.
The Kantronics is much cheaper than the SCS and offers some features even the
Pactor-II/III modems don't.
