I will show you how to get Digipan up and running in a few minutes receiving PSK31 without needing any interface boxes or cables. I have even uploaded a video of PSK activity on 20 meters for you to practice receiving PSK31 and using Digipan.
This is not hard, it is fun. Randy

BS7H is the hot DX this week. I worked them on 20 M SSB last night. Sorry, I did not have the video running. I found this video of the 1997 operation. This will give us all an idea what it is like to operate from the rocks. Here is a link to the 1997 operation: http://www.n4gn.com/ sr/ Link to this year's operation - http://www.scarborou ghreef.com/

Video shows operating aspects of PSK-31 using Digipan. I show how to use the Macros and Logging within the program. I then make 3 QSOs using my FT-817 at 5 watts to show you some PSK QSOs.
Hellschreiber is an interesting ham radio mode developed back in the 20s. It is a bit strange and different, but fun. I'll explain what it is, then I make a couple contacts during the Hellschreiber contest.
