Which sideband is preferred for MFSK on 80 meters? This seems the ideal mode for a noisy band but I think there is confusion about which sideband to use. IZ8BLY says LSB but MixW instructs users to u
Folks: I am hungry for some real conversation on the "green keys" but 80 meter digital seems to be a desert most nights. Getting to know each other might be more fun than TV or browsing E-bay. I will
I installed a Keyspan USB-to-Serial adapter (on COM4) for radio control. I tried to install my Belkin F5U103 USB-to-Serial adapter (it installed OK as COM5), but when I went to activate it, I got the
A network of receivers using the RTTY skimmer developed by Walter, DL4RCK, is beginning to mature. But RTTY operators need to remember one rule in formatting their CQ call to assure their call is det
Hi Rex Your second macro would work just fine but it could be shorter by omitting the space before CQ. You only need the space after the keyword (TEST, QRZ, or CQ) and after your call letters. And n
Want RCKskimmer to spot you during a contest? Follow one rule in formatting your CQ call: Make certain to transmit a space (" ") after both your call letters and the key word (CQ, TEST, or QRZ). This
If you would like access to only RTTY spots from the WZ7I skimmer you may log into cw.wz7i.com, port 23 which has CW and PSK filtered out. Much of the time it is about as exciting as "watching paint

Hi Folk: I have received several emails suggesting that the spots from the WZ7I RTTY skimmer may be significantly off. While it is not my aspiration to be a fiduciary frequency reference, I want to b
Larry, your first macro should have been detected by my skimmer. If it wasn't, I have something messed up. Whether this macro would have been detected depends on the script written for each contest i
Hi Jeff: I apologize for the lack of definition in the manual. If CQOnly=1 then only calls thought to be "CQ" calls are transmitted through the telnet port of RTTY Skimmer Server. But the normal way
I do not understand why no skimmer picked up your CQ calls. I would have thought I would have received it during periods of the contest. The most likely call sign patterns for VE3NEA's skimmers are i
My skimmer near Philadelphia has picked up only 47 CQ calls from 22 different RTTY stations, all from the US except VE2FK twice. The interesting thing to me is that probably 80% of these spots have n
