in three days and after a little adjusting it worked like a champ. I enjoyed using it to show everyone present how the mode worked. The waterfall display showing the received signals is fascinating to watch and the PSK31 signals just sing at you and are pleasant to listen to. Everyone who wanted to got a chance to tune the radio using the computer and everyone commented on how easy of a mode it is to use. A couple of guys refused to look stating that they knew they would be snared for good if they tried it! Oh well, I tried!
Notable Contacts: Austin, TX with a station running 9 watts. Two students in Oklahoma City at W5PAA, who chatted for about 30 minutes. A special event station in New York. States we worked included Louisiana, Pennsylvania, California, Michigan, Idaho, New York, Wyoming, New Jersey, Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma.
A First QSO: Jared Wilson, KD5KZR, under the watchful eye of a General Class Control Operator made his first HF QSO under the mode. He was excited! He started calling other stations and when they responded he would jump up and insist on someone else working the station! Lots of fun!
A weather man on HF: Robert Boyd, KC5ZJO, talked to a station
