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

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.
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/

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.
