Object: Robot for bilateral link by radio in
telegraphy of the Radio club of SARTROUVILLE
QRA locator : JN18CW F5KCK/ROBOT
on 28110kHz
The goal
is to promote the only transmission fashion that permits to establish a
link
radio with a superior noise to the signal and while using the possible
the
simplest material means.
This
robot is a functional help as good for beginners in telegraphy that the
confirmed telegraphic.
For
beginners, this help consists in decoding messages in walrus and to
intervene
while using procedures described to be able to achieve a link in
interactive
way telegraphy with the robot.
It is
also a means to test itself before getting involved in the
international
links.
For the
confirmed telegraphers, the robot permits to bring up weakness and
mistakes of
manipulation to elevated manipulation speed as well as the time of
reaction to
the wedging in frequency, then to the habit to copy a message to the
same
transmission speed that the operator.
Remarks:
a period of test in real size showed that same the confirmed
telegraphers don't
arrive has read messages that send them the robot completely.
The link
can be achieved in 10 different languages, and one can change some to
leisure
what permits a training of languages.
You will
be able to let messages (QSP) to your friends as on a BBS, and the
robot will
tell you so your message has been read and to what moment...
Description of sequences
achieved by the
program:
- The
sequence of calls is launched, it understands by alternation every 90
seconds:
- the
first message makes himself to a speed of 15 words per minute; it is a
general
call indicating that it is a robot to make some bilateral links in
telegraphy.
- the
second message makes himself to a speed of 15 words per minute; it is a
message
of information that explains to wedge the frequency of its emitter how
on the
one of receipt of the robot and to verify that it is in measure to
decode.
.
- the
third makes himself to a speed of 15 words per minute; it is a general
call
indicating that it is a robot to make some bilateral links in
telegraphy.
- the
fourth makes himself to a speed of 15 words per minute; it is a message
of
information that explains that that it is necessary to transmit to the
robot 3
times its indicative to make the link.
- the
fifth message makes himself to a speed of 25 words per minute; it is a
general
call indicating that it is a robot to make some bilateral links in
telegraphy.
- the
sixth message makes himself to a speed of 15 words per minute; it is a
message
of information that explains that it is necessary to transmit to the
robot
while using the reports standard of the walrus.
- Between
sequences, the robot decodes telegraphy on its frequency of receipt:
- the
first characters permit to determine the transmission speed of the
station that
calls the robot.
-
characters following permit to correct shortcomings of manipulations:
- spaces
between the too long or too short words.
- the
space between the too short characters.
- The
receipt of the invitation character to broadcast the station that calls
the
robot (K KN BK); launch the decoding of its indicative.
- The
decoding of the indicative makes himself:
- by
research in the notebook of traffic, if the indicative already exists
otherwise;
- by
comparison to the normalized format; it permits to identify the country
of
source so that the language used for information and formulates them of
traffic
are selected.
- if the
indicative is not in the notebook of traffic, the robot looks for if it
recovers it a second time in its call.
- if the
indicative is not in duplicate, the robot asks for a repetition of the
indicative for confirmation.
- if the
robot didn't understand anything, it asks for a repetition.
- The
robot answers to the same speed that the one of the station that calls
the
robot.
remarks:
every change of speed is possible with an instantaneous variation of
about 70%
of the previous speed; in a beach of 8 to 93 words per minutes in
receipt and a
limitation voluntary of 15 to 85 words per minute for the broadcast of
the
robot.
- The call
sign is valid, the link is establishes with the robot, that asks for a
plotting
of receipt, the place of broadcast and the forename of the operator of
the
station that call the robot; it gives the format of news for that it
waits.
- the
station doesn't answer in due time; the robot recalls it.
- the
station doesn't always answer in due time; the robot signals him that
the link
is not validated but the robot consigns on its notebook of traffic this
call.
- The
station answered; the robot repeats him what it decoded then gives him
news to
continue to either stop the link.
- The
station asks for information on the possible functions to the manner of
a track
game.
- The
robot gives information still while using the normal procedure of
traffic.
Remarks:
information are multiple:
- formula
to send a message differed to a QSP station.
-
relative information to the robot.
- change
of language (10 available), to give information.
-
indication of the transmission speed of the station in link with the
robot.
- the
time in the region, etc..
- The end
of the link makes himself by a courtesy exchange the robot records on
the hard
drive:
- the
indicative
- the
frequency
- the
date
- the
hour ( TU ) of beginning and end of the link.
- the
speed of manipulation in end of link.
- normal
or practiced fashion ( expert )
- the
last used language that will be the one used to the next link.
- the
message sent by the station to the robot: plotting of RST receipt, its
QTH, its
forename.
- the
personalized message that will be sent to the next link.
remarks:
To the next link, the robot will recall the date and the hour of the
last link,
it,
permits
to verify that him doesn't have usurpation of call sign there.
Utilization
of the robot F5KCK to make some QSOs in CW
How knowledge if the robot hears
you:
- the
frequency of receipt of the robot, doesn't correspond cannot be to your
regulating to answer on the frequency of your correspondent.
It is
necessary to provoke the reaction of the robot therefore by the means
the more
simple and fastest possible, to make itself, to send the occasional K K
of 2 seconds thereabouts with a speed of letter manipulation
that is
near of the one of the previous CQ of the robot,
Dice that
the robot decodes a K, it appears.
it is
preferable to note your TX QRG, in order to explore its strip pass band
while
transmitting some K K , it is going to
permit you to place you to the middle to have all odds to be copied by
the
robot.
remarks:
the time between the CQ can be very long, therefore it is as the means
to test
if the robot is well active.
it is
recommended to only make your test when your emitter is hot and
consolidated
well in temperature, because the explored passband corresponds to 100
Hz.
How to make
to hear itself and to understand the robot:
- Every
time that the robot answers you, it made it has the same speed that you
have
keying him
- You can
keying has every resumption of the QSO to a speed varying 75% of the
tour
preceding, it means that for an answer to the CQ to 15 wpm, you can
keying has
26 wpm to the tour after, if you want,
to 45 wpm, the maximal speed of broadcast is top to 85 wpm
- The
decoding takes account of the various reports of keying that you use to
make
the formation of words and spaces, your indicative will only be decoded
if you
arrive at least to this result: W6XX K.
It can
pass by burrs as: DE W6 XVX W 6XX W6XX VB? W6X D U K
He/it
accepts indicatives of the kind: OH/W6XXX W6XXX/P W6XXX / M W6XXX/MM
HB9XXX/QRP
The
character of invitation to send is the
K but it accepts as the in letters glued the BK, the KN (that possesses
a very
interesting detail in a part of the QSO), the VA is only accepted to
finish the
QSO.
How to make QSO with the robot:
Dice that
the robot decodes your K, does it answer you by
? K
It means
that the robot waits then for your indicative at least two times K, and
to
repeat the K if the robot didn't decode it so that it passes in
broadcast.
So that
the robot is certain of your indicative, it is necessary that it finds
it
repeated at least two times is has your first call example: DE W6 XVX W 6XX W6XX VBS? W6XX D U KS, either another
time in its demand for confirmation PSE CFM UR CALL K
If you
already made QSO with the robot, your indicative is in its data base,
it will
be sufficient for it to copy it only one time to validate it.
The robot
puts you of questions and tells you how there to answer while giving
you the
format of the message that it waits for you (the formula).
To note
well that it is the only moment of the QSO or you can place your
message in
his/her/its memory, the next times, you be able to only put then him of
the
question to finish the QSO when you wish it.
Therefore
the robot records your message then told you to reach its other
functions
how.
it
recommend to respect the syntax, if you don't want to have demands of
repetitions
You limit
in time to answer to either put of questions, to the expiration of the
temporisation,
the robot you consignment a message, that throws back the same
temporisation,
spends to its delays the robot told you goodbye...
How to put questions to the
robot:
Read
messages of the robot attentively to know the manner to reach questions.
it is you
then possible to ask him to answer you in English or another language,
it is
necessary to note that at the end the QSO the robot will keep in memory
your
last choice to answer you in this language has your next QSO.
Remarks:
The operator's forename is read by the sysop in your first QSO with the
robot
and it is placed by hand in the data base, so that the robot calls you
by your
forename to the next QSO with it, it is nicer.
How to finish the QSO:
Instead
of to rest him a (another one) question, it is sufficient to spend to
him 73 KS
or 73 VA (VA adherent letters) or same 73.
