Paul...

     Good session on gotomeeting this afternoon...I found it quite 
instructive. Here is what Don W. wrote me some time ago:

Call again if you need more help. I use a similar combination on my ICOM 
910H for WSJT on 2 meters (not much PSK there, in part because of 
multipath propagation and in part because it is not the "fashion").

You really ought to have a look at the WSJT pages (google WSJT)...not 
too much doing just at the moment wrt meteor scatter, though I heard a 
couple of stations today. Peaking on the evening of January 3 will be 
the "quadrantids" shower (google again), which should give lively MS 
activity. The K3 works beautifully on 6 meters in this (FSK441) mode 
with the SignaLink box, though you will have to increase the LIN OUT 
setting on the K3 (don't use the digital gain on SpecJT to accomplish 
this). Your K3 at 100 watts should work well.

You will also find Europeans (mostly) working PSK63 and higher speed 
modes, usually keeping to the region around 14.073 or so.

Also, your K3 will work marvelously in the other modes available in 
FLDIGI -- e.g. olivia, hell, etc. -- though in my experience there is 
not as much activity.

I look forward to working you "over the air"
