    No sunspots, 7Mhz and lower is working. 3580 +/- has activity.

    Was working okay for me about 22:00 UCT. Had a QSO going with a guy from New Joisy going before DM 780 went wonky on me and I had to reboot.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Suffering from major program bloat?
    MultiPSK is your friend. (She's ugly, but she's always there when you need her)

    Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.

    I have that one too but DM780 works fine for me 99% of the time. It's just that every once in a while it acts up and trashes something in the system heap and forces me to reboot. Can't even remember the last time it happened, though.

    Worked some Ruskies on 160 last night, 160 starts to get alive now.
    A friend worked Madagaskar on 160, lots of activety on 80/40
    The lower bands will have it for the moment as it seems, though some activety on 20 is possible.

    Sunspots , where??

    I tried DM780 and found it quirky. I have also tried MultiPSK and a host of others. Of course, I am using a PC. Of all the digital programs I have tried, I find that DigiPan and MixW have given me the best overall performance and bang for the buck. -- especially, the buck spent on DigiPan ;) (thanks, Skip!).

    Just downloaded and installed the latest MixW version (2.20 I believe) and find my registration is still valid. Nick and Denis have given us a very good program for very little cost.
