Fred,
   I have been trying but I have unusually bad QRM at this end this evening.
I will keep trying for another hour or so and then try again in the morning.

Subject: [pskmail] Re: WB5CON server updated and shifting speed

It appears that my fldigi upgrade is running me low on resources. My 
server is bogging down swapping between physical and virtual memory. It 
is an older machine.

I have heard several attempts to connect at slower speeds this afternoon 
while the server was bogged down.

I will reinstall an older fldigi and/or increase RAM. I was running 
fldigi 2.04 before and it was very reliable.

If you got frustrated, please try again later.

73,
Fred
