Hi all, that sounds interesting! I will have to try and find Simple and get 
on the air using Pactor. So far I have only used it for Winlink operations.

Something I'm curious about is, can Simple run the QSO in P2 then switch to 
P3 only for the picture file transfer? That might make better used of the band?

Thanks, Dale
