Sahurao cactus at 4500 feet elevation on the south side approach to Mount Lemmon. The city of Tucson is in the background. Now if I could only figure out how to get an antnena and feedline up here!!! |
Massive Hard Drive Crash As many of you know, I suffered a major hard drive crash in the middle of August 2008. I’m still not sure exactly what happened or how, but it happened during one of Microsoft's updates that occured at the same exact time I was performing my nightly backup. Unfortunately, the crash was such an extent that no data was recoverable from the drive. Complete hardware failure of the drive. What is even more unfortunate -- the backup was also destroyed in the process. Source files for all of the software I write have been lost to some extent. I was able to recover about 80% of the Propent PSK source and 60% of the Hamcall Search source. Everything else was a total loss. I am now in the process of reconstructing these projects as time permits. I have PNP and Hamcall Search almost 100% and will be posting those to the web site once I am sure they function correctly. As for YGPSK
and YGMM, the will have to be completely reconstructed from the ground
up. I am piece meeling these
two together into one new application that will be called PSK Express and
the final format should be able to run on both a Windows XP/NT platform
and hopefully on FCCLookup will be sunset in favor of the newest version of Hamcall Search when it is finally posted The software that is currently posted on this website will remain as it is tested and works correctly, although you may get an error message about a missing log file when you first install YGPSK, it is simply a matter of creating a new log file and that message will not raise itself on the next launch.
