CORRECTION!
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.
