Yesterday I sent a ham-to-e-mail message with two attachments. One was an MS
Word file (a 30K binary file), the other a small DOS.txt file. The actual
text in the e-mail message was only a reference to the testing. The total
e-mail message was just over 32Kbytes. From my home Airmail set up in
Deltona on 20M I linked with WB5KSD, a frequency/band scanning WL2K station
near Dallas, TX. I got lucky and made the link in about 15 seconds - it
would have taken 45 seconds had I missed his scanning the frequency the
first time. Once linked the entire 32K message was sent and we were
disconnected in about 80 seconds. I then walked across the shack about 10
ft to my XYL's computer and the e-mail message was in her in folder.

Bob: Bud at what baud rate did you pass a 32k file in 80sec? At 1200 baud it
would approximately 9 minutes.
