Alan:
Yes, Alan I also got a copy of the message here as well and I examined it
with some new tools I have here and it came from.....
From: "Larry Kayser" <[email protected]>
and you can be assured that I have nothing to do with rftechnology.co.uk hi.
I abandoned MS Outlook some time ago because it caused so much trouble but
now I am getting an average of 25 or more Viagra, low rate US mortgages,
and porn spam a day. I have been ignoring this for some time but I guess
it is coming time to do something about it. I have been digging a lot of
the Internet, looking for information and this seems to cause more and more
spam.
I do have two separate processes running here now. I have a special RS-232
adapter on my MODEM connection and I have two separate processes
continuously catching the incoming and outgoing data into files, these tell
me what has come in and gone out from this machine. One thing, if your
using the "unregistered" versions of much of the current software, there
are massive amounts of advertising files down loaded into your machine ever
few days. I have another process running that is triggered from the
incoming files and they are erased often within moments of being delivered.
I hope you are keeping well, and enjoying life??
Yes, I am well, overworked as usual but doing well really. My LF gear has
now been sold and my LF days are over now. It was fun, but trying to keep
a significant antenna up was more than I could cope with and certainly to
much after my car accident last December 10th. So those days are over. I
watch this reflector for DSP things. I am now dedicating a lot of effort
on the LDE research and also on working up a technology to do the North
Atlantic again but this time on 144 MHz. Both items need the same generic
software so I am now focusing only on the software issue from this end.
My work involves the collection of massive amounts of .WAV files and the
trick is to process this stuff fast and discard the 98% or 99% of it that
has nothing of interest on it. As usual I am working this from a number of
directions but so far I can not process more than about 6 hours of
collected data per day, more and bigger computes or much smarter software
is needed hi. I have hope of getting a general purpose .DLL that does DSP
things. The PSK31 has such a general purpose tool available now, there are
in fact two of them already, and it is wonderful. I was able to use the
PSK31 .DLL to build a custom PSK31 engine using VB6 in a few days that does
what I need done for monitoring a large Server on Win2K that I have
deployed in VO1.
I have a sense now that the next wave of things in DSP will happen with the
availability of general purpose .DLL's that can be used to focus the
software on a specific activity. For me, just getting rid of most of the
stuff on the screen is a joy to behold. I have two small windows on my
dual CRT setup here, on the left screen, and they change colour
automagically when a new event is reported in the closed loop system I have
setup here for testing. I live in hope of course that the end will come
quickly and mercifully to the imbedded human interface and the fixed
features of the current DSP programs - they are great but if you want to
move to the edges, they have no hope of meeting ones needs.
I am sending this to the RSGB reflector as well, I hope that others might
be interested in the .DLL method of doing DSP - comments and input are
welcome.
PS, I rarely send emails with attachments to anyone so if there is an
attachement to an email from me it is best to erase the email immediately.
