1. HSMS med WSJT OZ1PIF, Peter Frenning EDR Roskilde Afd. Torsdag den 29. November 2001

2. Hvad er WSJT? Weak Signal by k1JT K1JT = Joe Taylor, Professor i Astrofysik ved Princeton Universitetet i USA. Nobelpris i Fysik 1993 for opdagelsen af Pulsarer ved hjælp af Radioteleskopet i Arecaibo.

3. Hvorfor køre HSMS? På 144MHz: Tropo op til ca 8-900Km ES sjældent under 2000Km AU sjældent over 1200Km MS 600-2000+Km! På 50MHz: Uinteressant, afstande allerede dækket ind af ES På 432Hz: Nye muligheder at udforske!

4. Hvorfor køre HSMS? (Størrelsen GØR en forskel!)

5. JUST HOW FAST IS HSCW? IS IT MUCH FASTER THAN SSB? Here are some examples: (lpm = wpm x 5) [lpm, letters per minute; wpm, words per minute]. Typical CW 25 wpm 125 lpm Fast CW 50 wpm 250 lpm (Limit of most "regular speed" MS operation) SSB 250 wpm 1250 lpm Slow HSCW 300 wpm 1500 lpm Kinda slow HSCW 400 wpm 2000 lpm (used for CQ's in North America) Faster HSCW 800 wpm 4000 lpm (common schedule speed in North America) Still faster HSCW 1200 wpm 6000 lpm (used for many skeds now) Very fast HSCW 1600 wpm 8000 lpm Ultra fast HSCW 3200 wpm 16,000 lpm (not recommended, S/N Ratio bad. But has been done!) You can see that even slow HSCW is as fast as most SSB operators can talk, except maybe for those whose occupation is auctioneering! And receiver tuning and signal strength requirements are not as tight.

6. SO JUST HOW SHORT CAN THESE PINGS BE AND STILL GET USABLE INFORMATION ACROSS? Very short! In fact, for HSCW, pings or bursts longer than two or three seconds are exciting but are almost a nuisance! We'll leave it up to you do the actual math. But a 1/10th second ping can propagate a complete set of calls at the medium or higher speeds! This might produce a full syllable on SSB! YOU CAN'T COPY THAT BY EAR! AND THE CW DECODERS I'VE SEEN COULDN'T HANDLE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. HOW DO YOU DO IT? Right. The idea is simple. Use a device to slow the code down to something readable. Then copy by ear what has come through.

12. FSK441 Frequency shift keying @ 441BAUD 4 Toner: –882, 1323, 1764 og 2205 Hz Hvert tegn kræver 3 toneintervaller, dvs. 3/441sek. (Ca 2.3ms) for afsendelse Max 48 forskellige tegn, 43 i brug, samme som i PUA-43 alfabetet.

13. Indkodning The present encoding of each character is defined in the table below. The four tones are labeled 0-3 for the tones 882 through 2205 Hz, in increasing order. The four possible "single-tone" encodings, namely 000, 111, 222, and 333, are reserved in WSJT for special use as shorthand messages. (These characters sent repeatedly amount to pure single-frequency carriers, and their pings are easily recognized by the software and by the human ear.) The present definition of the shorthand messages is respectively "R26", "R27", "RRR", and "73". These messages are very widely used in North American HSMS communications.

16. Krævede signal niveauer The first column gives the necessary signal level in dB, relative to the noise power in a 2500 Hz passband, for communication or signal detection by each mode. The entries are ordered by increasing sensitivity of the mode: the farther down this list, the better the mode is, in terms of signal-to- noise ratio. (Actual communication throughput rates vary rather widely, of course.)
