Field day macro for FLdigi2/18/2024 I’m not familiar with HRD or other programs, but I imagine they have similar capabilities. You’re right about using multiple versions of macro in Fldigi. So my Sign macro for contests and Field Day just reads “ TU 73”. I like to give points to field day/contest stations but. Frustratingly the information needed to simply get setup and get going is not found in one place. I came across a lot of PSK31 activity by chance (7.070, 14.070), but it took a while to figure out how to take part. It irks me when a station ends a QSO with “73 QRZ”, in effect saying “I’m done with you, who is next?” without giving me the chance to give my 73 call at the end of the communication per FCC regs. These are the PSK31 Fldigi macros I setup for Winter Field Day last year. I also like that your Sign macro ends in “73” rather than in “73 QRZ”. And the “pse copy” seems extraneous since the calling station is expecting that info anyway. Several stations may have answered the CQ call and they need to know which one you are replying to (and logging), preferably before the sign off message. I’d suggest that the “My Info” macro read: “ XXX XXX XXXX XXXX kn”. I’m still new at this game, and learning (aren’t we all?), so I appreciate constructive inputs like yours. OK, thats my 2 cents gentlemen.now back to lurking )Ĭhris, good list. We hope to work many PSK31 QSO's this year! I think its a matter of operator choice for the macros but we have found, especially on FD, that short and sweet works best. Fldigi operates (as does most similar software) in conjunction with a conventional HF SSB radio transceiver, and uses the PC sound card as the main means of input from the radio, and output to the radio. As for our macros, they are just the basic CQ, Answer CQ, our INFO, Tnx/73 and QRZ?. Fldigi is a computer program intended for Amateur Radio Digital Modes operation using a PC (Personal Computer). This partnership has worked perfectly for us for 6-7 years now and it was quite easy to set up. We also use N3FJP's amazing Field Day Log software coupled to the FLDigi suite of programs. We do operate SSB, CW and most of the digital modes. Our club (WA1USA) will be running 2F for Field Day. I have been following the thread and found the suggestions and information very useful. Gil, I think ur suggestion for FD macro's to be the most helpful suggested thus far by anyone.
