Hello to All,
I have setup a 24/7 PSKMail server in Sydney Australia (VK2ETA). Since I
have just updated the wiki space, it was time I introduced myself to the
group.
The name here is John and I have been testing/using PSKMail here in
Australia for couple of months now with great success.
My main usage is when I go 4WDriving as I like the great outdoors this
country has to offer. Due to it's relative sparse population outside the big
cities, there are significant parts of Australia where we do not have mobile
phone coverage. In fact in my last 10 trips I can safety say that more than
half the time I would camp outside a mobile phone coverage area.
Having looked at different systems on the web, and dismissed the purchase of
a PACTOR modem or a satellite phone for that matter, I find PSKMail does
everything I need: mail (and thereby SMS using a third party provider),
APRS, and text web (mainly for weather forecasts).
So congratulations and a big thanks to the authors and thanks to the
supporters for such a great, reliable solution with such a small HF
footprint.
I have just upgraded to V0.5 and I intend to test the PSK250 mode this
weekend too. Has anyone tested that mode with PSKMail already and what are
your comments so far?
73s, John (VK2ETA)
