Hi Jim, Geri, Wolfgang,

Copied your PSK31 QSO last night from 20.20 till 21.00. I had left the Rx on 137.5 but missed the first part because sigs were 8Hz later.

Jim was solid copy of course, but still the occasional error. I was fascinated to see how Jim occasionally sent backspace a few times to correct an error and how this was acted upon by the Rx software. Shame one can't use that to actually correct transmission errors, hi!

Both Wolfgang and Geri were good copy at times but at times just random characters. It seems to me this is  just the typical failure of another machine recognition method. The software simply gets out of sync in the presence of QRM. We can see when it is in sync because of our knowledge of words and the context of the QSO, but the software doesn't have this ability. When it does get that smart - look out!

I append below the uncorrected output to give a flavour of reception. If you are not interested delete this email now.

73, John, G4CNN


Andy running 170W linear at moment. OK eae>  ethe coherent signalling - will be interested to see what happens when u get it all goinge e o o 
ue I think that is probably veeo|e s
p for  long DX working on LF, or something similar, just problem of getting enough stations ready with all the gear. So will sa 73 to Andy if u are off, and put back to Wolfeagn - DF0WD es Group de M0BMU kn

E eo Geri - I can see your sig on spectrogremam, but quite weaq and only a few words decoding at moment - u wee toenNronger earlier on, so maybe just some QSB? 
so pse can you QSP Wolf BK}Be  r e  e  ,eIoj

DK8KW, Df0WD es G4JNT de M0BMU - not sure if Andy still e->  l eQRV - will listen for you and QSP if you are still there Andy ?BK o   ,oÆn e  

OK, think Andy now QRT to ee   nN on with other buisiness, HI. Well thanks to Wolf for QSPing Geri 3 esigs to me, I can see Geri on spectrogram trace, but still quite weak - might come up again, or tu e o ybe condx were better earlier in evtoning when I had good copy of both ur sigs. Hope your fingers warm up soon, Wolf!! here it gets too hot in shack with TX es PSU going, have to keep window open
to eL at a bit of air in - problem other way round fIe me! Well, it has certainly been nice for me to th tout a different mode on LF although I think all other stns tonight have ued PSK31 before on LF... But ier s egood to have some variety. So I will put it back to the DL side - perhaps we can see if Geriee pBas come up a bit? DK8KW es DF0WD de M0BMU eÒpbe}e 

M0BMU and the group this is DK8kkR 0  W t, Je e0  'F rul
to co  a bit more this over ... thank you very much for the QSO and I hope that we will have someobeetter conditions betweenoPeineom r  Yb i he nfcture.
 olnytthank you for QSP an
 hope to see you agai  t..eo 73 73 73 73 to all , also our listeners, I know for exÿple that Fabian, DJb r
