[aprssig] HF APRS igates on JS8

[spam8mybrain]

Ok, I'm trying to beacon on 5403.5 USB with fldigi 4.1.12 and YAAC, using MFSK-16 and AX.25/APRS packets. I'm running about 25 watts into an Alpha Delta DX-CC multiband dipole. Alas, 60 meters is not one of the bands this antenna was built for, and it's only 12 feet off the ground (and right over our parked cars), so this is lousy even by NVIS standards (and it's out of range for the tuner, too). But the transmitter is keying up.
    
Can anyone hear me?Andrew, KA2DDOgrid square FN20gbsoutheastern Pennsylvania

OK Everyone!   The 60-meters APRS "FLdigi-modes" test is on!I am now monitoring 60-meters "Channel 5" (5.403.5 USB) for both conventional 300-baud HF packet APRS on 1600/1800 Hz "KAM tones, and FLdigi modes.I am also monitoring for FLdigi modes such as MFSK-16 and PSK63.  Set the center of the FLdigi waterfall cursor to 1700 Hz.  Note that FLdigi tries to snap the cursor back to 1500 Hz each time you change modes.Enable the RSID on transmit. This should automatically switch my end to whatever mode you select to transmit with.  Try experimenting with various modes and bit rates (i.e. PSK31, PSK63, PSK135 or narrower versions of MFSK, Olivia, etc).  Remember these signals need to get through a 500 Hz Collins CW filter on my FT-857 receiver.As of now, I have shut down the JS8call application, and am now monitoring 24/7 on both conventional AX.25 packet and on FLdigi modes.   The monitoring location is central Michigan (Lansing/East Lansing area).The FLdigi modes monitor also has a UI-Webserver mapping display attached to it.
