I apologize for this, but I found the solution.  After Googling this for 
sometime and finally asking the group, the very next link I clicked on had the 
answer.

If anyone else is having this problem, simply google ARRL Cert.tq6 and download 
the file (https://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/config.tq6).  Double click on it to run it, 
and all is fixed.

2010-03-23 Thread David Wright
All,

Apologize the cross-post, but this problem may cross several lines. 

Before my reinstall of WinXP this past weekend, I was using WSJT to operate 
JT65, the logbook in HRD/DM780 to log the exchanges, and HRD Utilities to 
upload automatically to LoTW.  I had no problems with this, but suddenly after 
the OS reinstall I can no longer upload "JT65" as a valid mode.  

In my LoTW QSO listing, I have 42 entries all with "JT65" as the mode, so I 
know that it can accept it although a lot of the FAQs say that it should just 
be "data". 

Any ideas what happened on my end to cause this, and most especially, what I 
should do to get back the ability to upload "JT65" as the mode?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

[digitalradio] Another plug for JT65A ... the spectrum efficient mode

2010-03-23 Thread Andy obrien
I know many are already aware of this, but take a look

N9DSJ-1 (EN52ti) Heard N6TE(DM12) on 3576.23 KHz -8dB at 03:32:00Z using JT65A
N9DSJ-1 (EN52ti) Heard K3UK(FN02) on 3575.99 KHz -5dB at 03:32:00Z using JT65A

Bill N9DSJ decoded two stations within 24 Hz of each other, how is
that for spectrum efficiency?  I was transmitting 5 watts,

Hi Julian,

What are you using to analyze the WSPR data after downloading? Thank you.

I don't think you can impute anything meaningful from one set of 
reports. Normal QSB will make a difference of from several to many dB 
which can only be averaged out over a period of time.


WSPR is much better IMO for this sort of thing. You can leave it 
running, go and do something interesting, then come back later and 
download all the spots and take an average. You can also transmit 
simultaneously on two different frequencies using the test antenna and 
a reference one and compare the reports each one gets. (You have to 
start the transmit cycles manually in that case, there is no facility 
in the software for two copies of the program to use the same pattern 
of transmissions.)

Perhaps Tony, K2MO, can make some pathsim comparisons of ROS 8 baud with 
Olivia 32-1000.
