Re: Receive Antennas
k9wis@...
how much land do you have...Our FD group sets out beverages for 40 and 80 meters to pull in those weak signals at night...but we still xmit on the dipoles up in the trees. they are long(multiple wavelengths, I think) but only sit a few feet above ground, a termination resistor at one end makes them directional, some matching needs to be done(guess I'll have to check the antenna handbook).

Hey Barry, I saw stations working you on 20m last night but I still can't find the DX pipe to BC yet. I will keep looking though. My luck has got to change. Joe KA1PPV #1482

When I started a couple years ago I started with Ham Radio Deluxe. I liked it, I really liked the interface. I thought it was clean and modern. Some of the older ones I just really cannot stand the look. I've tried a bunch and didn't care for them. Once HRD went to a more pay system, I moved to DXLab Suite and I've really liked using WinWarbler. So many options, maybe too many. I intend on trying some of the new software that was mentioned in this post. Thanks, Bryon, W7RIV

I don’t know about you, Mike, but I always really liked the look of the waterfall in Digipan. The default waterfall settings in DM780 I thought were abysmal. It took quite a bit of tweaking for me to get that nice Digipan look. The cool thing about DM780 is that it is very customizable.
Recently I was compelled to us Fldigi for Field Day. I am not a fan. For one thing I never could get the “center” frequency to work via the various machine controls. That was a deal-breaker for me.

Re: PSK31 Software
I also came to HRD DM-780 via the MixW route. DM-780 does a great job for me with the digimodes, RTTY and CW. It's got some issues, but basically it's a solid performer here. -- Mike Flowers, K6MKF, NCDXC - "It's about DX!"

I will tell you that after running MixW for a while and then seeing some screenshots of what some ops had done to customize DM780, I tried it again. After a lot of tweeks, I completely changed my mind about DM780 and now I am loathe to use anything else. Another country heard from, 73 de Eric, KG6MZS
