Hi John,Thanks for info. I burnt the ISO image for PSKmail to CD for a try, have some issues to resolve but I am not sure how it will go with my Tigertronics SignaLink USB interface. I do have some PSK tncs here, but I don't think they will work with PSKmail (SCS units) Not to mention my last brush with Linux, was Red Hat 5 :-) I might have to make up a machine and get a Linux O/S installed, rather than go the CD route.

Hi Jack,I am running on a fixed frequency of 7219KHz (VFO frequency), in LSB with 1000Hz audio offset. So the signal center frequency is 7218. I chose that part of the digital band plan segment since it is relatively quiet and rarely used by hams (at least in the last 4 weeks I monitored it).Broadcast stations are completely silent during the daylight hours and should not be too much of a problem at night if we have a good signal between us. I was in QLD a couple of weeks ago and I had all day 100% linkup with a simple dipole 12 feet in the air and 100watts.I am also on skype if you use it.
