Pactor by soundcard

I'm with Larry on the amazing results with PSK31. I have worked contacts in the UK, Europe and S. America aboard my boat in S. Florida using 20-30 watts. If you hams haven't experimented with PSK and other HF digital modes you are missing a lot. Not being a full-time cruiser, I can't justify the Pactor 2/3 expense. Getting e-mail out with PSK would be no problem -- you can always find people willing to forward e-mail messages. Incoming is a different matter: there is no infrastructure for message retrieval. Because it's not a plug-n-play solution, I don't see PSK HF digital e-mail for cruisers reaching mass appeal (even with the dropping of morse code). On the other hand, it wouldn't take much support to fashion a workable text-based mail system using it. Check out PSK. It's amazing. HS Now all you need is someone you can call with a working email client willing to copy your emails from his email window to the WinWarbler transmit window and from your Winwarbler reply back to his email client's window for reply. You don't need no stinking sailmail...(c; Larry Check out the thruput of PSK31 vs Pactor III. |
