ISS was no better, all calling CQ and no one able to make a contact heh

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 24/09/2026

Yeah I added it just incase I needed a new grid.. OscarWatch Terminal and SSTV to come.

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 24/09/2026

Just trying to make sure it's the best it can be

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 24/09/2026

It's been really bad the last few weeks

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 24/09/2026

You maybe waiting some time

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 24/09/2026

Improved OscarWatch FT4 decoding: parallel TX echo, search around RX/TX (±700 Hz), ~2.5 s time window, leaner LDPC/candidates, and a faster native build. Own echoes and CQ copies appear sooner.

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 23/09/2026

OscarWatch FT4 works! 5 QSOs in the log

DXChrono Desktop 1.6.0 is live. The map used to hog the RAM. Pick 720p, 1080p, or 4K, and a normal window sits around 190 MB. WeatherLink and Weather Underground are in too, so wind, rain, and the spots can share the screen. 📷 desktop.dxchrono.com

This should reduce some of those issues

You will just have to wait and see then :D

RS-44 decoding FT-4 using OscarWatch FT-4 not quite ready to test TX but soon

150

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 22/09/2026

A little more work has been completed on OscarWatch FT4, its rapidly approaching testing in the real world.

040

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 21/09/2026

Dunno what I was thinking, but I went down the rabbit hole of adding FT4 to OscarWatch. Still a lot to do; only tested using virtual audio cables, so it needs a real satellite pass to try, etc

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 21/09/2026

DXChrono Desktop will soon be able to have a widget to show weather data from Davis Weather Link and Weather Underground

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 21/09/2026

Very difficult SO-50 pass with the usual calling and not listening, but did catch DL6AP/P on the grid line of JO42, JO43 and also EA2AA.

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 20/09/2026

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 20/09/2026

Would you like to try the special special sauce version.. i'll DM you

000

Peter, MM9SQL @mm9sql.com · 20/09/2026

I can see the screwed up cornea grafts when using a scope of any kind, so doesn't help

Think with my vision it's just to much strain on the eyes. I'm built to be an indoor cat
