1649 SIO 444, presumed Relay Station.

2015 After fading out earlier (well, mostly still had a carrier), back to an SIO 333/444 the last hour or so. Enjoying the music while I get some coding done... just released a new version of DX ToolBox, beta 5.5.0b3, available here in fact: https://www.blackcatsystems.com/download/dxtoolbox.html

im not really set up to do live voice broadcasts at the moment, i could, but it would interfere with my job.
generally, during random weekdays, i do a music broadcast while i work at 50 watts power, the same way someone at work would listen to tunes while they are working except i broadcast it just for the fun of it.
edit - youre welcome Chris, im selecting some tunes randomly while i work (sometimes a bit trivial to do at the same time while working)
ive downloaded your new version of DX toolbox, ill try it out.
btw, i absolutely love Audio Toolbox, all the functions of your program has helped me calibrate Stereotool properly.
