[digitalradio] VK4JRC Pactor Operations......

2008-01-14 Thread Jack Chomley
Hi all Pactorologists!

I now have my band scanning function running (I think!) for Pactor connects.
The controller talks to my Icom 718 to scan 10  frequencies in 5 
bands, the scan delay for each frequency is 3 seconds.  My tones 
are   Mark 1600   Space 1400 with USB mode on all frequencies.
Keyboard connect call is VK4JRC, mailbox is VK4JRC-8, I am hoping to 
have the configuration correct, but its untested, you may need to 
send // to access the mailbox. Or there is a possibility NOTHING may 
work at all, anyway nothing venturednothing gained :-)
Pactor 1 connects accepted

Frequencies:

14.087
14.079.5
18.100
18.105
21.078
21.093
24.920
24.925
28.105
28.110

This fits with Region 3 Band Plan, please let me know IF it fouls up 
other Region Band Plans, or MAY step on other people's toes who are 
already running established NETs etc, on any of my chosen frequencies.
Times of operation at this stage are 1900z to 1200z daily (under 
manual control)

Hi all Pactorologists!

Hi Jack!

Are you going to continue to post operations on
http://www.obriensweb.com/sked and
http://www.projectsandparts.com/pactor/ for the scanning?

Perhaps your scanning of the freq list will give me a better opportunity to
work you.

I did connect with Demetre, SV1UY, on 20m yesterday and had a brief
but nice chat.  The band was a bit busy but we connected succesfully.
It surprised both of us; He had wondered about the ability of PACTOR I
to pull it off due to the competition of nearby signals who came and went.

Overall, some contacts were made with KU2A (Nick), NT3K in NM,
N1DP in ME, NO4Y in NC, WB2JEP (AL) - running MultiPSK, and
VK2PN.  The QSO with AL, WB2JEP lasted the better part of an hour.

I'm still trying for W0JAB (John) and you, of course.  I've heard no signal
from you whatsoever to date, same think for W0JAB.   I'm still trying
and I'm sure the effort will pay off before long.

Howard - when I call out a dial frequency for pactor such
as the one I hang out on 7077.5 it's going to be LSB always.
I think we have been close a number of times.

Roger that!  I'll make sure, John.  Thanks.
Yes, I bet we have been close.that's why I'm still trying.
