[digitalradio] Sked page: Additional ideas ?

2009-12-18 Thread Andy obrien
The K3UK  sked pages Digitalradio, SKCC, and LOTW, get lots of use the
FISTS, and Counties pages are hardly used despite requests that I
provide the pages.  I was thinking about taking the rarely used pages
down and replacing them with something else .  Anyone have any
suggestions ?  The three that are quite busy often bring a total of
50-60 hams connected at the same time. SKCC and LOTW both are well
used  by a group with common interests, it is interesting  to see what
has turned out to be popular and what has not.   I am still puzzled
why SKCC's page is  always active and FISTS not used at all.

 From that I presume you mean DM780?  HRD is the computer control 
program, DM780 handles the digital modes TX/RX side...

If you go to Program Options and click on the QSO:Receive tab there is 
an option called "Display Distance and Bearing from my locator".  If you 
select this and put your locator into the 'locator' setting under Tabs 
then, when DM780 detects a valid IARU/Maidenhead locator, it will 
calculate and display the distance and bearing and print it in the 
received window just after the received IARU/Maidenhead locator.

You can select distance to be displayed in either Miles or kilometres.

RE: [digitalradio] 3.580 is a busy frequency?

2009-12-18 Thread Cortland Richmond
When US analog TV had 3579.5 KHz color burst oscillators, 3580 and nearby
was avoided because of the continuous QRM. It made sense to put CW practice
and one-way bulletins on a frequency no one else wanted to use and let the
operators tune their receivers to cut/notch out the tone.  Good training!
But with analog sets gone, or dying on converter boxes, there's less reason
to avoid it; what happens to a hole on a busy band? It gets filled up!
