I tried to respond but I guess you didn't hear me. It was quiet for a min. Thought my antenna fell down.

This is just weird. It's like the band just went silent. Oh well. Just finished up with MI. Alkva, I saw you call but you must not be hearing me. Really, I don't hear a thing on my rig right now and I swear the volume is up.

There's another QSO just below us.  I'll call you again on offset 1650.  See if that makes a difference.

Tried to respond. I don't know what's going on. I don't hear anything. No data. No voice. Something is awry. Sorry.

ETA: WTH? How can you show up when I don't hear anything? Hmm.

ETA2: Think I lost you. I copied "I can four PSK-31 QSOs plus an RTTY. What are you u" and that was it. Guess I'll call it a night.

But to answer your question (I assume) I'm using my ghetto setup with the pc mic to the rig speaker and the rig mic to the pc speaker. But there's not a singe sound from the radio. It comes and goes.

OK now that's really, really strange.  When's the replacement RigBlaster due in?

Have a good night; maybe we can try again tomorrow after you get your radio exorcised.

I still need to do the RMA. This is the most bizarre thing. I'm hearing stuff now but I have the volume cranked. And I'm still not getting anything usable in PSK31 Deluxe. Guess I'll sacrifice some chickens tomorrow. Have a good night.

Jax, U sure you don't have an antenna connection problem? Try screwing them tight or wiggling coax. Do you use an antenna switch? I recently had to wrench on mine to get it right. (Might Fine Junk).

I guess I could. I'll try to double check things. Seems to be ok for the time being. I got one leg of my dipole up a little higher so hopefully I'll be getting more signal out now.

Do you guys make mention of being on this list when communicating on PSK. I don't know any of your calls but I thought I would see if I could copy any of you from here in WV. I fired up the PSK rig this morning and had a nice QSO on 40m with a guy in PA (near Philly) who was running QRP so the band was in pretty good shape then.
