ON3JT

It has been a while that I posted something on my blog here. Don’t panic, I’ll try to do it more frequent.
I’ve been busy with all kind non-ham related things.

But yesterday I managed to find a free moment and put the transceiver on the 20m psk band. Around 20:40 UTC I noticed a qso that needed more attention.

I made a qso in PSK31 today with SV1EAG, George in Greece. I hear you thinking : “Nothing special…”
But he mentioned this :

(YOU CAN WATCH THIS QSO IN MY LIVE CAM
IN http://www.sv1eag.blogspot.com/ IF YOU
WANT TRY IT)

And I did.  I could see the text that I was sending on his screen via the webcam. I was a bit too late to take a screencapture but if you look close enough, you should see my callsign in the logbook entry of MixW (the grid with yellow background). Very nice thing to have some visible feedback on your signal.

Keep up the good work George and we sure meet again.

Today, I saw Daniel LU3DXI calling cq in PSK125. PSK125 is faster than PSK31, so you have to speed up yourself to read and write the qso
