Hi Bruce, You can read all about what ALE is on the HFLINK website. http://hflink.com ALE is the de facto world standard digital system for initiating and maintaining optimum HF communications in any mode (such as data or voice). ALE has been adapted into a ham-friendly system, for calling, CQing, net call up, and messaging. Recently, hams have added short message text email capability. You can run full ALE with PCALE software, and basic ALE with Multipsk software. Other ham digital software authors are supporting it as well. You can also get HF transceivers that have ALE built in. There is other stuff being developed under the ALE umbrella... 73 Bonnie KQ6XA
