RMS TRIMODE STATION AAR6TB

HELLO MY NAME IS KEN AND I'M THE SYSOP OF ARMY MARS RMS TRIMODE STATION AAR6TB. I AM NEW TO THE HF RMS STATION ARENE, BUT HAVE BEEN DOING VHF RMS PACKET STATION FOR SOME TIME. TO GIVE YOU ALITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS STATION AS FOLLOWS:

1. RADIO - IS AN ICOM 7000 THAT RUNS ABOUT 70 WATTS ALMOST ALL THE TIME.
2. TUNER - IS A LDG-200 PRO AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARME WITH THE SOFTWARE. AFTER YOU HAVE TRAINED IT THE TUNING CYCLE IS LESS THAT ONE SECOND.
3. PACTOR MODEM - SCS DR-7800 MODEM. THIS IS MY SECOND ONE AND THE FIRST ONE I HAD WAS FAULTY AND IT CAUSED ME ALOT OF PROBLEMS. BUT SCS IS A FIRST CLASS COMPNAY REPLACED IT AND THE NEW ONE IS RUNNING LIKE THE ENTERGIZER BUNNIE.
4. WINMOR - I'M USING A SIGNALINK EXTERNAL SOUNDCARD AND IT WORKS JUST FINE WITH IT'S BIG BROTHER P-4 MODEM.
5. POWER SUPPLY - MFG SWITCHING 30 AMP POWER SUPPLY. (AND IT VERY, VERY QUITE.)
6. COMPUTER - ONE HOME BUILD COMPUTER THAT HAS LOTS OF POWER THAT ONLY RUNS THIS STATION.
7. RF PROTECTION - LOTS OF FARITE BEADS AROUND THIS WIRE AND THAT WIRE, ALONG WITH TWO "RADIO WORKS" RF SURPRESSORS
8. I RUN A STATION COOLING FAN 24/7 THAT HELP KEEP ALL THE EQUIPMENT VERY COOL.

I SCAN FIVE ASSIGNED FREQUENCY WITH PACTOR AND ONE WITH WINMOR. THIS KEEPS MY TOTAL SCANNING TIME DOWN TO 20.3 SECONDS AND I TRY TO STAY AS CLOSE TO 20 SECONDS AS I CAN. THERE ARE A LOT OF MARS MEMBERS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE PACTOR MODEMS, BUT HAVE WINMOR IN MY STATE. I WAS VERY SUPRISED TO SEE A NAVY MARS STATION CONNECT TO MY STATION OVER WINMOR. WHAT SUPRISED ME WAS HE LIVED 1438 KM FROM ME. THAT'S A LONG HAUL FOR WINMOR.

NOW THAT YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ME AND MY STATION PLEASE DROP BY AND SEND AND RECEIVE SOME TRAFFIC AT AAR6TB. IT'S WAITING FOR YOUR CALL..............................
