EXChat: New Digital Texting App
A ham in New Zealand has developed a new "sentence-mode
radio chat system that works like cell phone texting," according to the
South African Radio League (SARL). ZL2AFP's "EXChat" is an extension
of DominoEX, an MFSK chat mode for HF, particularly the lower HF bands, where
noise and crowding often make digital mode communications difficult. The SARL
report says the EXChat program "equips your computer with a
one-sentence-at-a-time chat mode for operation on the HF bands (that you use)
in the same way as you would SkypeT or cell phone texting. For more information
