PSK31:
Translated literally, it's an acronym for "Phase Shift Keying, 31 Baud". PSK31 is a form of modulation (or "mode") that offers a new and higher level of performance in conversational communications (keyboard-to-keyboard) that we "hams" (amateur radio operators) can enjoy. And it's been made instantly usable by all of us, due in part to the proliferation of the personal computer, and in part to the superb and generous efforts of some very talented ham/programmers.
In the short time that PSK31 has been in use, its popularity has grown by leaps and bounds. It may in time replace or at least greatly supplant RTTY and other modes for person-to-person communications. It's fun, easy, and well worth the effort to get set up, which is not very much at all.
It should come as no surprise that the PC is transforming the way we operate. Think about it, in your little PC you've got one of the most powerful tools for digital signal processing, spectrum analysis, database, logging, and much more.
So this site is devoted not only to PSK31, but also to the large and growing array of ways that the PC can help your enjoyment of this already super hobby. The best way I could think of to help is to list MY favorite tools for these jobs, in the form of links and descriptions. Incredibly enough most of them are absolutely free for the taking!!!
To get started just click on one of the buttons to the left. I'll be adding more links and information over time as my own usage broadens.
This is just the beginning, folks!
