Hi Gill,
The call here is AB9FT (kg9bo is my old e-mail callsign) from Sheboygan, WI
which is roughly 50 miles N of Milwaukee. I will be sure to look for you, but
look for me as well. I haven't heard any activity ever since I officially
installed my pskmail server here. I ran HF packet for sometime, but decided I
want something to be used more of a "service" that also would do much better
with my mediocre setup here. The antenna here is only a 30m tuned dipole
(NW/NE) only about 30ft high. It would be nice to copy something! There is
another station VE7SUN that operates somewhere near and have heard only once. I
see that there is a VE6 that is on, but I haven't heard anything yet from that
station. There are a lot of Europeans on, but not have heard anything yet..
I started single-band pskmail server but "exploring" at the present time with
multi-band operation. It is currently switching 80, 40, 30, 20, 10. The antenna
tunes all of those bands with my tuner, but I don't know how its doing (SWRs
from the tuner appears about or lower 1.5 and getting full power).
73Josh, AB9FT

PSKmail server, WB5RFQ-5, is operational near Houston Texas USA -- BPSK250, on
10.148 MHz. This is being used for testing temporarily. Any stations in range
are invited to ping or connect, to see how well it is working and what kind of
coverage we have. Please report your success -- or lack thereof! -- to Gil
WB5RFQ at WB5RFQ@xxxxxxxxx I especially want to hear whether email transfer
works. TNX -- Gil
