Folks, please remember that a rule here is that, while being free to strongly disagree, we should do so without personal attacks. I often disagree with many hams, and enjoy disagreeing with Bonnie at times. However, she deserves respect for her opinions and personal attacks should be avoided. Th

Quite a few "seasoned hams" still use older forms of software that do not support RSID. Why they chose not to upgrade is beyond me but they have their reasons. I suppose that if all you ever do is RTTY and PSK31, what would be the point in transmitting an RSID? Or upgrading your software? Ric

I understand what you are saying Skip. But the bottom line is that most can't copy it and therefore don't understand it. I have gotten phone calls and email from my CW ID after a person to person QSO telling me what a lid I was for operating pactor. I love the ARQ modes (pactor amtor) and at this

2010-04-09 Thread Tony
All, I was just wondering if there's any confusion or misunderstanding among the group about RS-ID? We all know that it's not always easy to identify a mode by sight and sound yet I still see many calling CQ without any mode identification. The end result, no contacts. I'm sure most of the sea
