Virginia Digital Net

Virginia Digital Net (VDN) meets Monday through Friday at 1915 local time, on 3578.5 kHz,
USB, 1300 Hz audio offset, using Chip64. Neither RIT nor AFC should be used.

[NOTE: For those rigs that use only lower-sideband (LSB) on 80 meters, look for VDN around 3581.1 kHz,
and left-click on the center of the signal on the waterfall. When you can print the NCS, usually the NCS
will print your signal when you transmit.]

All are welcome. Use Chip64 as you would use PSK31.

The software is available as a free download at http://xoomer.alice.it/aporcino

[NOTE: If the software crashes at times, Rich W2NMH suggests the following:
On the desktop, right-click the icon for Chip64. Select Properties/Compatibility Mode/
"Run this program in compatibility mode for" Windows 98/Windows ME.]
