Dave Freese W1HKJ do at the Huntsville Amateur Radio Club meeting on Friday:<br>
<br>
At the HARC meeting on November 6th, Dave Freese W1HKJ<br>
(<a href="http://www.w1hkj.com/" target="_blank">http://www.w1hkj.com/</a>) and Steve Conklin AI4QR will<br>
be demonstrating the fldigi digital mode software<br>
application, along with some related applications<br>
that can be used to support error-free transmission<br>
of binary files in an Emergency Communications (EMCOMM)<br>
setting.<br>
<br>
Dave is very knowledgeable about the benefits and drawbacks<br>
of various digital modes, and which modes are appropriate<br>
for different band conditions and uses. This should be an<br>
interesting presentation for people with all levels of interest<br>
in digital sound card modes.<br>
<br>
This is a condensed reprise of the presentation that was made at<br>
Huntsville Hamfest this year.<br>
<br>
fldigi is a great multi-mode program used for sound card digital<br>
modes. It runs on windows, Mac, and linux and is a great digital<br>
mode application. <a href="http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html" target="_blank">http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html</a><br>
<br>
For information about some of the EMCOMM uses and additional<br>
applications, here's a web page by Dave:<br>

Dave has also prepared this really great web page showing what<br>
various digital modes sound like and look like on the display,<br>
with detailed information about the modes:<br>
