[SMCARA] Club Station and Digital

[Richard (KG3BOZ)]

The station is not currently capable of operating digital modes.

It could become capable of sending and receiving digital modes with the addition of:

Signalink USB
Appropriate cabling
Software.  
A computer capable of hosting the aforementioned software. 

If the intent is to only use RTTY and or PARK 31then a simple software program would be the right path (e.g. 
digipan )  If anything else is needed I recommend HRD (of course).

I would be willing to be one of the operators at various contests.

</div>So it has been suggested that we as a club should hold more events like
Field Day where we operate as a group. I like the idea and am ready to
support it. The only two things that would benefit from such a gathering is
a contest or a special event (open to other reasons). So I am curious does
the club station have the ability to do RTTY? How hard would it be to set
it up? Might we use the setup process as a demonstration as to how to get a
station to do digital modes?

I am the above questions because on the 19th is the North American QSO
Party RTTY edition.
Details:

Name: North American QSO Party RTTY
Date: Jul 19, 1800Z - Jul 20, 0600Z
Freq: 3.5-28
Mode: DIGITAL
Exchange: Name and S/P/C (State/Province/Country)
Logs: ncjweb.com 7 days

First, can we get the station to do digital in time. I have a win 7 laptop
that is just the base install so it can be configured to do whatever we
need at this point.

Second, Do we want to use getting the station on digital as a demonstration
to how to get a station up on digital?

Third, Would anyone else be interested in operating multi-op for this
contest? I think we could use the filters and triplexer to set up
additional stations at the museum that day.  Of course we would have to
talk to the museum.

This is now open for discussion.
HAVE FUN!
