[digitalradio] Monthly Digital Mode Sprint?

2009-05-01 Thread Tony
All, I think we could benefit by borrowing an idea from the NAQCC. The North American QRP CW Club runs a two hour Sprint each month that seems to bring a fair share of ops out of the woodwork. New members are always being added so they must be doing something right. A digital mode Sprint

Open interfaces can be as effective as open source. Look at what PSKCORE accomplished long before Moe AE4JY released it to open source. Mori-san JE3HHT's MMTTY has also been effective as a RTTY engine, and remains closed source but provides programmatic access to its functionality. 73,

I agree, Marc. While there are theories, our present knowledge of solar physics provides no solid ground for predicting what may or may not be happening. Extrapolating empirical observations taken over the past few hundred years is risky, since they literally represent a quark in the bucket with

Based upon the modulation developed for WINMOR, is it fair to say that some of the wider and higher speed modes will be roughly equivalent to Q15X25? It still is perplexing to me as to why Q15X25 did so poorly (based on numerous comments from those that tried it) yet the modulation is

I suggest that the Mode column contain the Operating Mode, e.g. CW, Olivia, RTTY, Pactor3. We don't really care what mode a user's transceiver is set to... Having the each user's grid square and region (SA, NA-E, NA-M, NA-W, EU-E, EU-W, AF-N, AF-S, AS, AN, OC) would be helpful for beam heading

You don't. What is happening is that YOU have software (probably MixW or DM780) that sees something like 73 and the software uses a waving-hand icon that is on your hard drive. The picture you see is NOT being sent via PSK31 on air. Andy K3UK On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 9:39 PM, John Netro
