A reminder folks, the first ever PSK63 contest is a few hours away

Quick PSK63  Contest

Sponsored by the Digital Radio Reflector



Announcing the First Ever PSK63 "Quick PSK" Contest.

This contest  will use the PSK63 method developed by Skip Teller KH6TY.
The version of PSK63 offers 100 WPM PSK with narrow bandwidth at 100WPM,
ideal for contesting !

To enter the contest you will need software that supports this version
of PSK63.  To date, known software that supports this form of PSK63 is
WINPSK, WINPSKse. MixW, N1MM Logger, Quik PSK , DXPSK, Logger32, PSK31
Deluxe, PSK-Pal, RCKRtty, W1SQLPSK and Zakanaka . Some of these programs
require that you replace the PSKCORE.DLL in your PSK folder  with new
PSK63 Core available at http://www.qsl.net/kh6ty/psk63/psk63core.zip .
Programs that do not require this core are PSK31 Deluxe, MultiPSK,
DigiPan, and MixW



For help in accomplishing this please join the Digital Radio Reflector
at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/ and request assistance.

Bands: 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 m.

Example : The suggested area for PSK63 operation on 20 meters is just
above the PSK31 activity, or starting at 14072.5 and extending to the
beginning of the RTTY activity area at 14080. To do this, just set your
transceiver to UPPER sideband, and the dial frequency to 14072.0.  Use
the same concept for the other bands .
