<H1 align=left><FONT face=Tahoma>ROS and PSK Automatic Propagation
Reporter</FONT></H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The amateur radio digital data mode software
<STRONG>ROS</STRONG> has been joined to <STRONG>PSK Automatic Propagation
Reporter</STRONG>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The rosmodem website reports that <STRONG>Philip Gladstone
N1DQ</STRONG> has done a great job programming a new version of PSK Reporter
(v1.3) compatible with ROS Mode. It is only available since ROS v4.8.0 or later
and it requires running the file install.exe to register the new DLL.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>PSK Automatic Propagation Reporter gathers reception
records of PSK activity and then make those records available in near real-time
to interested parties — typically the amateur who initiated the communication.
The way that it works is that many amateurs will run a client that will monitor
received traffic for callsigns (the pattern 'de callsign callsign') and, when
seen, will report this fact. This is of interest to the amateur who transmitted
and they will be able to see where their signal was received. The pattern chosen
is typically part of a standard CQ call. The duplicate check is to make sure
that the callsign is not corrupted.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The way that this would be used is that an amateur would
call CQ and could then (within a few minutes) see where their signal was
received.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>This can be useful in determining propagation conditions or
in adjusting antenna and/or radio parameters. It will also provide an archive of
reception records that can be used for research purposes.</FONT></P>
