Hi Dave,
One thing I find a bit awkward about Wolf on an overnight run
is finding out when the periods of good reception were.
I suppose you can count up lines from when you started
but is there another way?
If it sounds more convenient, I can replace the "t:" indicator with the current time of day. A the
moment, "t:"-value has to be added to the time when the WOLF decoder was started (which is shown in
the decoder window before WOLF command line). For example, for "t:2592" add 2592 seconds (= 42.2
minutes) to 01:52:03 in John's capture. The result is something like 02:35 as timestamp for the first
successful decode. However this doesn't mean John would have had immediate copy at 02:35 if he had turned the
decoder on at 02:30, because WOLF has integrated the signal over a longer timer. For that reason (or, from a
technical point of view) it's important to know that first successful decode was 2592 seconds after the
decoder started.
Besides this: There is a minor bug in the date-display, it starts counting the months at zero. So the date "2005-03-29" (in ISO-8601 format) should read "2005-04-29". Will be fixed in the next release.
We may also start thinking about a WOLF 2-way QSO procedure: which station should
transmit in which time slot, and how long the time slots should be (my suggestion: 15 or
30 minutes). In the next release, there will be a "QSO mode" which
automatically toggles between RX and TX, synchronized with the PC's clock.
Best regards, and good luck. Hope to work you *in any mode* later this weekend !

Thanks John.
I've received you and you've received me.. We can claim a QSO! ;-) (sorry
Mal)
The transmit Wolf comes from a different PC and I set that up by generating
1000Hz tone which I measured accurately, first with a frequency meter and
then by listening to the 50th harmonic! (Diode across the audio)
This one needed less correction, 8004 I think..
I then calibrated the receive PC by feeding the 1kHz straight in.
Thanks also to Marcus for explaining the numbers a bit more. I guess the
f:0.020 means my TX calibration agrees with John's receiver pretty well?
The TX exciter is a Racal MA1723 with an ovened oscillator so it should be
pretty good.

Dave,
I did a little better, and congratulations! Copy is shown below. There were
a number of instances of the "0.020" frequency offset during the night,
some in long strings, but this was the only instance of correct decoding.
Question: Have you set the sampling rate for transmitting? I see that you
were using 8020 Hz on the receive copy you sent me the other day.
