Hi Sean,

 HG> TNX for the informative letter.

SD> I will start posting them by hand when I get them.  I normally read
SD> them first in HTML email and then copy the plain text version to
SD> the echoes. 

I noticed that you probably use UTF as code page but the only character
that didn't match the text mode here was the (º) = paragraph character.
Text modes here are PC8 and Latin-1.

BTW, the URL's mentioned in the text didn't give me anything. By using
only princeton.edu i could contact the site and from there find 'pulsar'
but any search from there didn't give an opening.

SD> Digital modes are a mixed bag.  However they do have the distinct
SD> advantage of being very efficent with low-power and bandwith.

Yes I know, however in the german CQ DL 9/2018 magazine there is a
mention of a story written by NT0Z at: http://radiopearls.blogspot.com/
2018/06/has-joe-taylor-destroyed-amateur-radio.html
Please note that the above URL is a translation of the german URL.

According to the text: Year 2017 is the year when ham radio died. It is
the zero hour of the new chronology of amateur radio. Therefore the year
2018 is the start of the Hampocalypse or in the new period the year 1AT
(1 year after Taylor). Of course it wasn't Joe Taylors intention to kill
amateur radio. FT8 is an accident, like a virus, that escaped from a
Highsecurity laboratory and propagate to hit the people.....

The text goes on describing what will happen at year 2AT and 3AT.
Further ahead is the version FT11 that will work the DXCC in 478 ms.

SD> I'm looking at setting up a packet BBS here on 2 meters for now...

We had a 145 MHz packet radio here but as soon as I had built a 433 MHz
9600 packet radio modem, the entire packet radio system was closed down.

My intention was of course to add 9600 bps to it to be able to transfer
files faster. The modem wasn't lost however. I just had to add audio in
and out to be able to use it as a 70cm transceiver.
