Hi Lew. Well, I prefer to not be compared to Skype as there is such a thing already called QSO net http://qsonet.com They use Voice over IP audio with some noise added. I don't use that at all. My world is built upon the real radio laws. When you speak you are modulating a carrier that gets mixed with a radio sphere. I am using precisely the same techniques as radio. You can hear this when u skew the frequency and go a few 100 hz offet. It sounds exactly like SSB in a shortwave radio. These are the robots installed: HAMSPHERE DEMO ROBOTS 7002 Duga 1-3 "Russian Woodpecker" replica from 1982. 10 MW EIRP. 7005 Lower band marker 7010 Demo PSK31 robot 7015 Demo SSTV robot 7033 Mossad E10, number station replica. 7035 URD, 1980 replica of the Cold War Coastal station from Leningrad, Soviet Union. 7045 UVB-76 08 BROMAL "Buzzer" replica. 7080 Recording from a Russian AM station 7090 Upper band marker 70??
