No, never did work him but I did see a note in the log to look for him on 20 meters.

He lived just up the hill from the MEB depot that I worked at when in my late teens and I used to pop in to see him when I could. Mike now lives in Shropshire and it's been a long time since I last spoke to him, so not sure if he still uses AMTOR or RTTY anymore. Dave (G0DJA)
Re: [digitalradio] GTOR- has anyone tried this?
Don't recall just when it came out but - Biggest problem with it was finding someone to have a QSO with. Once you did the link was very good. I think it was also used by a lot of the early BBS stations. Of course that was the problem with any ARQ mode that came along. Back in 1977 or so when you friend Alen come along with AMTOR that really was the 1st widely used ARQ mode. Very few could part with the $300 U.S. dollars for the kit. Sitting over in a cord board box in the storage area is AMTOR kit # 314. I recall at the time having never worked so many G stations the entire time that I had been a ham. And as they say the rest is history. John, W0JAB

Interesting. The "about" info reveals Mixw 2003. I also found this "G-TOR (Golay -TOR) is an FSK mode that offers a fast transfer rate compared to Pactor. It incorporates a data inter-leaving system that assists in minimizing the effects of atmospheric noise and has the ability to fix garbled data. G-tor tries to perform all transmissions at 300 baud but drops to 200 baud if difficulties are encountered and finally to 100 baud. (The protocol that brought back those good photos of Saturn and Jupiter from the Voyager space shots was devised by M.Golay and now adapted for ham radio use.) G-tor is found in only one manufacture's TNC and is rarely used today." --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "sholtofish" wrote: > > Came across this the other day: > > http://db0lj.prgm.org/boxfiles/software/Gtor.zip > > Looks like it's a sound card implementation of G-TOR??

Re: [digitalradio] gtor ?
Me too, great for testing things. I've been sailing for a week and I've run tests with antennas and modes during that time. It's great to have an automated station to connect to. I've connected to my own home schack and to a friends, he's away at work so an arq-mode is the only way to go. Gtor was interesting, sad that it didn't evolve into something widespread and better. If only the TNC manufacturers could produce something like MT63-arq and make it standard... (No, I don't want to have the computer running 24/7 as I've only got solar power and the refrigerator has higher priority.) 73 de Per/SM0RWO --- John Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Good, I just love the ARQ modes. > > > At 08:36 AM 7/8/05, you wrote: > >True, but gtor is a mode I've never tried. > >I've got a sched set up so I'll try out tonight. > >73's > > > __ Do You Yahoo!?
