G4HPE Paper to be presented at US Datacomms Conference

A paper by Steve Richards, G4HPE, entitled ‘A Practical Evaluation and Comparison of Some Modern Data Modes' will be presented at the internationally acclaimed ARRL and TAPR Data Communications Conference taking place in Des Moines, Iowa on 10 to 12 September.

Steve's paper, which was first published earlier this year on the ‘Datamodes' page of the RSGB's Emergency Communications website analyses various HF datacomms modes from the point of view of their suitability for amateur radio emergency communications messaging, looking at most of those soundcard-based programmes such as MT63, MFSK16 and PSK31, which can be readily used in a field situation. The material also includes investigations conducted on the new 5MHz experimental frequencies.

In addition to his amateur radio emergency communications involvement, Steve, G4HPE, is well known as a GB2RS newsreader on the 1230 5405kHz and 2130 1990kHz transmissions, both of which are often accompanied by data test transmissions.
