Alan,

Thank you very much for your great work with HO-68 and for your effort to solve the voice/packet problem.

I do not entirely follow the schedule, however. Does "Digital Transponder" mean packet? Where it says:

14 Mar. 2010, Digital Transponder

16:45...Turn On--Linear Transponder India, Africa, Middle East, Europe,NA 17:30...Turn Off

does that mean digital (packet) or linear (SSB)? Does it mean that the linear transponder will be active on 14 March and 15 March and that the rest of thw week is digital only?

Please clarify if possible.

73, Bill NZ5N

Hello all,

I got a lot of responses about problem of digital mode through HO-68. The main problem is that Packet communication is often interrupted by voice. We are trying a new schedule

in this week, voice and packet operations will be separated

by the schedule, of course, this just depends on the hams'own discipline. If you have any comment and suggestion, please

let me know.
