WE2XGR/2 and /3 will be testing the new (and still under development) ZL1BPU/ZL2AFP MSK software tonight beginning at 0000Z. The schedule is as follows: WE2XGR/2 will be running a beacon in FEC mode, 31 baud, from ~ 0000 - 0100Z on 510.2 kHz WE2XGR/3 will be running a beacon in non FEC mode, 31 baud, from ~ 0000 - 0100Z on 510.5 kHz At 0100Z both stations will be on 510.5 kHz and carry out a QSO starting out in non FEC mode and likely switching to FEC mode along the way. Currently, only the ZL1BPU/ZL2AFP software can be used to decode this MSK variant. A writeup on the new software and link to the files to download can be found at http://www.qsl.net/z/zl1bpu//SOFT/msk.htm . Keep in mind that this is just an 'appetitie wetter' stripped down test version of a more full featured program to come in the near future. This software was designed primarily to effectively deal with conditions on LF so it will be interesting to see how it does both on 137 and 500 kHz. Reports, successful or not, are very much appreciated. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2
