I did connect to NI4VA with good signals but lots of QRM on all these 40M frequencies from LSB phone traffic and WL2K Pactor. I think to attract new users PSKMAIl has to be clearer as to what is happening at certain stages. Obviously when using ARQ there are pauses and retries, but frequently I do not know if things have hung-up or just pausing or waiting for the frequency to be clear. Things like the color system of text like <SOH>10cK3UK:1024 NI4VA:24 8859b43D307<EOT> <SOH>0"a47D9<EOT> tete:S <SOH>10cK3UK:1024 NI4VA:24 3859b4313BD<EOT> tell me nothing and newer users even less.
