I have never used MS Publisher, so I cannot help you specifically, but one thing you might try is downloading an open source publishing program called Scribus.

https://www.scribus.net/

Since it is free, your only cost will be the time to download and install it.

Apparently Scribus development started in 2001, so there is a possibility it will open your Publisher 98 file. It is supposed to import a wide variety of files, so you might get lucky.

Good luck.

This is not related to 070 but not sure where to look for help on this. I’ve tried google but not having any luck.

I have a MS Publisher file that was done on the 98 Publisher version. My Publisher is 2010 and it will NOT open that file. Can anyone take the file I have and get it into a newer version that I can open???

Thanks

Re: PODXS Net???

Dan Morris - KZ3T
 

Not really Marty.  I’ve only used it as a end user.  However, I believe I did try a dummy net one time for the 10-10 net but don’t think they are responsive to that at all.   So, I left it alone.   My suggestion would be to find one of the OMISS net controllers and pick their brain as to how to set up a new net, etc.

I would be willing to help as much as possible though.

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 remember.  I remembered it being more DOS-like in the past.  The new revisions are impressive.  

I have no idea on how to set it up for a particular net and operating it at a net controller.  Do you have any familiarity with that?

I use it when I check in to the OMISS nets and sometimes there are up to 50 - 70 checkins on any one net!!!   Needless to say those nets can run for several hours!!!

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 example, do you do one of the following?

1.  de 
2.  de   
or 3.  de 

Years ago, when I was active, I'd do #3.  HRD shows #2 and thats what I've done lately.  But I see #1 being shown in the beginners guide to PSK web site.  

Thoughts??

Subject: [070] 366 Endorsement Status

 

If I've done my homework right, there are 16 people who can possible complete their 366 Endorsement yet this year.  Coming up next in August are:


K5SP Jim  Can possibly complete on August 3

WA3WZR Loren  Can possibly complete on August 9

W7JSD Sid Can possibly complete on August 16


They may need several days between now and the possible completion date.  So if you see them calling, help them out.  I'm sure they will appreciate it and return the favor when you may need it.


Good luck and good propagation you three.  The finish line is near!

Rick,
Same problem here in Arizona.
Monsoon season in full bloom. Every afternoon I have to disconnect the antennas.
If it gets quiet this evening, I will get on 30 Meters with PropNET and will have the ROBOT on a will listen for calls.

Re: MACRO's

Jon

In my opinion this is wasted bandwidth that could be spent on meaningful info exchanges.
IMD should always be measured at the transmitter and I highly recommend acquiring a PSK meter. 
Yes I use one. 

If I am in a nasty mood and someone sends me IMD rpt I will thank him for the rpt and ask him to please explain what the number means, how he measured it, is it good or bad, and what can I do to improve it. 
Normal reply is 73.

I applaud those that wrote the software that we all enjoy on a daily basis but have failed to see why they included this in the package.

Re: PODXS Net???

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  everything I knew and went to car for manual... couldn't find a thing about solving problem.  In desperation I called manufacturer's tech support which ran me through all the programming and he was stymied too.  Finally he said to drop power, both AC & battery.  That cleared the problem.  It was last thing I would have thought of, but my job is to find a  fix quickly  and not run  up the billable hours.
