70 Years of Amateur Digital Modes
Murray Greenman ZL1BPU
Here is an excellent illustrated history of digital modes in radio. Good reading for military buffs too... Remember Piccolo, Coquelet....?
Ooops! The only acceptable answer is, "No? What's that?" -Unless you are far too old... Anyway, they're here:
Whatever your interest, RTTY, Hell, FSK of many forms, WEFAX, SSTV... There's something for you here.
It's a kinder bigger xfer at some 10Mb.
Interesting to compare this with the VoA "Radiogram" post at viewtopic.php?p=148
Looks like HF is being dragged into the digital age, maybe a good thing? Or should we stay with the comforting old steam-driven "boat-anchor" and AM?
