Excellent. Getting warmed up for my one August that’s missing. All I have is a small attic dipole, but at least I know it works. Just hope the prop takes pity on me. — David, K9DWR #1604 LONP

Very true. After 47 years in service end I've found there are times when RTM in necessary . Happened to me the other day at one of my customers. There was a weird message on display and I did

Its very easy. I use it daily for my nets I run. De N4DLT

All, Thanks for the input! I think I have all my macro's fixed. I deleted a LOT of them and modified most of the rest. Now, that I have the day off, I sit here and don't see a PSK31 singnal

Dan, I downloaded NetLogger and took a look at it. I haven't used that software in several years (way back when I was participating in the OMISS nets) and it is a LOT different than I

I have set my macro's up a couple of different ways... For casual QSO's I usually reply with two of my callsigns: de k For contests I reply with a single return of my call: de k

I don't want it. It depends on conditions and the receiving station too much to be indicative of my transmission quality. Bill AG4QX #0398

I have four macros and have used all four. One has calls once, two have calls twice, three has the called station twice and my call three times and the fourth macro is my call only repeated four

Actually the name of game is to make initial contact as quick as possible so I would drop the caller's callsign either once maybe twice then drop my callsign three times they know their own callsign,

Agree with Steve. No IMD etc. Do not send me my call over and over, I already know who I am. Send your call and my call 1 time once the qso is underway. If I need it, I will ask you to repeat

Hi Jon ! When responding to a CQ, I usually do de . He already knows his own call so doing it more than once might be redundant. My own call I will give twice in case he has QSB or doesn't

Hi Jon, I keep several handy depending on conditions. I usually start with de and only go to the longer versions in tough conditions. HTH, 73 de Eric KH6MZS

1a. If I'm answering a CQ, I will typically use a 1x4 -- my standard 1x1 macro followed by an "ID 3" macro. 1b. If I'm replying to someone who has responded to my CQ, I will use a 1x1 unless he hasn't

Part 2 of MACRO questions. In the RSQ report, do any of you care about the IMD or S/N report? I've worked some that gave it, but is it useful? Jon 73Jon Greene WX5NCO Tulsa, Oklahoma EM26 070 -

Good morning all, While the bands are dead this morning, I'm fixing my macros. Question for the group. When starting (answering) a QSO, how many times do you call their call and your call.. for

35-40 watts is a decent power level out  for PSK31.  Usually run about 40 watts, but have to watch power out meter as FT-1000MP has a tendency to creep upwards with power for some reason.  The

I  just run 35 watts max ..... psk only .... on the off frequencies ...but good advice to keep in mind ...tnx JEFF WALSHW3WMU#1673BUBBAWOODWORLDWIDE HEADQUARTERSSTURGIS, MS.

Jeff, Well you know the 20G would work if someone could come up with a 10db attenuator that was big enough.  73JoeKA1PPV  #1482

Hope you weren't running a lot of power.  A friend who used to live here in town did that with some power on SSB and ended up with "flaming traps" (might have been a KW).  I would recommend erring
