Hi Phil, Thanks for my first contact.
I couldn't believe it! This past two weeks I have made my first Olivia,Contestia,Hell (I worked PSK31 for a good while 2 years ago) . I work the Votar contest 6 contacts LOL. Worked the Hell contest Saturday morning 13 contacts. I am moving upward. This of course does not reflect , antenna building,Macro's etc. testing to dummy load by countless hours. Now the story behind ALE 400: I saw all the email here on ALE 400. Went to dummy load tested for the sound. I never heard if before. I have more time in the dummy load than on the air LOL!. - Being New to digital modes. I am in the middle of a Olivia QSO (I have the Solomon Reed ID on plus the rest of them - I clicked them all) Bingo my QSO flips to ALE 400 - HEY! this is "neat" I am in ALE 400. I had figured that the other ham had flipped over to the other mode. I didn't know how transmitt, call, send or what to do - LOL got to love it. That started me reading on ALE 400. Then everybody on the reflector said Tony has this great article. WHERE I said. Finally got my QST and NCJ magazine. HELLO there was the article. Thanks Tony it was a great article. (still working on "Auxillary" HI! ) Now I am really pumped. I spent months getting things setup for RTTY. AFSK/FSK /RTS /CTS/DTR ??? . But it has worked out. Phil, thanks for my first ALE 400 contact and your patience. I think I hit the "End" button several times. LOL/HI and sorry I was so "liddy" . It reminded me on my first CW contacts as a Novice. It was a lot of fun. Phil, have a great week , hope to work you soon, 73 and thanks again.
