Re: [digitalradio] Text message passed ok via VBdigi texas to KH6 land
Skip, I had two contacts today and transferred mail and files with both stations. We started out on PSK125 and dropped to PSK63. We had strong interference from a Pactor (1 and 3) station. FLARQ managed to work through the QRM and get the files transferred. In some cases we had a lot of retries but it worked. We did this between Illinois and Texas, and between North Carolina and Texas so we did not have the benefit of NVIS. This probably increased our retries. Can we control the size of transmitted units? Or does the program reduce unit size in difficult conditions? Thanks for a great package. We will be trying it out on VHF as well.

I was running 10 watts to a 20m inverted Vee in my attic (on 30m!) to your 5 watts with a Butternut in the side yard. Band was going out, but because we were using ARQ, the message came through without an error, even though the raw text on VBdigi had errors. If I had a 30m antenna, I would have been much stronger. I am amazed we could had a QSO at all, under such poor conditions! You are my first totally random ARQ QSO using the NBEMS, and I connected with your beacon signal, so I am very gratified with the result tonight! 73, Skip KH6TY Mount Pleasant, SC FM02 - Original Message - From: "Russell Blair" To: "Digital Radio" Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 7:29 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Text message passed ok via VBdigi texas to KH6 land >I just had a qso on 10.137 usb with KH6TY and sent him > a PSK31 txt message form Texas to kh6 land I was > running 5w of power, we tryed a PSK63 but the band was > gone and I had no copy on him.
