[CQ-Contest] AI for SSB RBN

[Tom Frenaye]

Ken/AB1J -

I think the problem with that suggestion, at least in the USA, is that digital modes are not permitted in the phone segments (but image/SSTV is OK there).

Maybe a very high speed CW burst would substitute...

If AI can't do voice recognition well enough it should be possible to encode sub-audible digital call signs and perhaps other data into SSB transmissions which would then be grabbed by skimmers. This could work for analog or digital voice.

I can think of at least two possible paths forward.


(1) Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and Google's Assistant (there are others)
are very good at understanding what I say, as well as what visitors with
various accents say. With proper legal rights to one of these, or to a
similar program, probably little new technology is needed for an SSB RBN
although development would be non-trivial and might be limited to use of an
approved list of phonetics.


(2) Digital voice -- which is more spectrum efficient and clearer -- might
be easier to decode for RBN purposes.
