Hello all, I am new to pskmail and have just subscribed to this list and thought to send this introductory email. I am licensed since 2004 and my professional background is in unix systems and network engineering. I am very much looking forward to contributing to the pskmail community. I have a few thoughts that I have been discussing in private email with PA0R that I'll post to the list shortly. On a practical note, I have yet to successfully connect to any of the pskmail servers! Because of space constraints at my current QTH, I suspect my antenna is not very efficient on 30m, nevertheless I am currently tuned at 10.148MHz. On 20m, I have been able to have solid PSK31 QSOs in the neighbourhood of DK4XI-2 (most recently with an OM in Lahnstein), and can see the beacons from it, but get no response to my ping or conect messages. Likewise on 30m at the moment, no responses, though I just now saw, <us><soh>QSL PA0R de DK4XI-0<eot> quite clearly... 73 de William EA5/VE2WSW va3udp /@/ rac.ca
