[600MRG] 630m 24 hour communication test

[Roger Graves]

The following was sent to KB5NJD for his blog today.

VE7VV, VA7MM and VE7CNF maintained continuous (at least every 30 minutes) communication on 477.8 kHz over the 100km path from Victoria to Vancouver BC using FSQCall at 4.5 baud (aprox 40 wpm) for 24 hours 31 Jan to 1 Feb. In addition to real time chat, we passed files, stored photos and live webcam (SSTV 240X320 pixels) images. Text and images were sent with automatic reception and also retrieved by remote request from the distant station. Automatic beacon transmissions were used to request s/n reports back from the remote stations. This test demonstrated the potential of 630m and the FSQCall system for emergency communication use, and it was a lot of fun! Here is SSTV image received by VE7VV over the 100km path from VA7MM.
