Ham email and blogs (was) On water in the Bahamas

Winlink is very good about piecing together broken messages. If the GRIB transmission deteriorates to below 600 BPS, I disconnect and try another PMBO gateway station. Winlink automatically picks up where it left off and completes the transmission. It's a great service and a good example of how ham radio can still be useful in the 21st century. Interesting, indeed. Is there a setting for that, or is that perhaps just downloads? It's always uploads which are troublesome for me (don't download all that much) and EVERY time I make nearly all the way through - including ALL the way through other than the handshake/confirmation at the end - and I lose the connection, it starts over from the beginning on my next successful connection.... The speed settings are adaptive based on signal strength and error rates. Use only Pactor 3 mode (P3) if at all possible. I rarely do large uploads so I'm not sure if they will pick up again from where they left off. Downloads most definitely do that however. Try November Zero India Alpha in Deltona on 80 meters in Pactor 3 mode. He's slow to connect but very solid. |
