Those who > want to test it are requested to send me a mail (direct, not via reflector). > I have written to Rik and explained that there needs to be some distinction about the VCW method discussed here and FDK. The VCW mode discussed here over the last week is NOT FDK. That is, the new 'beta' version of QRS does not support FDK, but rather it supports VCW. I had put forward the description VFSKCW when presenting my evaluation Beta software for the VCW method. I don't care what it is called as long as it is not referred to as FDK. Mike, G3XDV, had suggested the VCW name and that seems the best even though it doesn't refer to the frequency shift component and I would strongly support his suggestion. The software for the completely different FDK method should be ready in the next few weeks for your evaluation. If anyone has any questions about the difference between VCW and FDK please send me an e-mail and I will be happy to answer them. Alternatively, you can follow the link below. I know that some of you will be thinking that this is a small point in the scheme of things, but if you have ever tried to get feedback on some novel mode or idea (after spending hundreds of hours programming), you will know that confusion about what the principles are behind the mode are a killer. 73s Steve Olney (VK2ZTO/AXSO - QF56IK : Lat -33 34 07, Long +150 44 40) ============================================= LowFer URL: http://www.zeta.org.au/~ollaneg/lowfer.htm AXSO LF Experimental Station URL: http://www.zeta.org.au/~ollaneg/axsoextx.htm LF Receiving - FRG-100, CHA antenna LF Transmitting - 177.5/177.4kHz 8W - 7.6m vertical or CHA Modes - AM, SSB, PSK31, SSTV, Hellschreiber, QRSS and a new experimental mode - FDK.
