Who else uses PSK31? I am an avid fan of this mode. Any comments?

Hey Bill,

I enjoy using PSK31 using Digipan sofware. I am pretty new to it, probably less than 100 contacts. But working on getting dxcc and it's a fun way to accomplish it...

Steve,

That's great! It is amazing what can be done at 25W and under with this mode. Two years ago I did quite well at The MDC QSO usng PSK31 exclusively.

What software do you use? Since I have really only use Digipan I can only speak for that one. Have you found anything better? Do you have any Pros and Cons for Digipan or some of the others?

I have used Digipan, but am am partial to WinPSK. DigiPan does display multiple messages, but I often find that distracting. WinPsk has a good user interface, macros and can save entire sessions and log them.

I don't think you have to put up with Digipan's decoding multiple streams. I'm pretty sure that can be turned off and you can just decode one stream at a time. Multi stream decoding is the default.

I'll take a look at WinPSK. I havn't used it and like to try other programs.

I'll download it this week and give it a try this week.
Next month I think AARC JR. is planning two contests, I think during the Winter Field Day contest there was talk of setting up a psk31 station. If you have some time it would be great to have another psk operator. We ran psk31 during the MD QSO party. It helped with our mutlipliers. I'm sure more information will follow shortly on the final plans...
