PSKmail ???
● PSKmail is a ARQ communication system optimized for HF frequencies, used when internet access is not within range.
● It offers a flexible long-haul gateway to all usual internet based functions
Footprint = 6000 km(Clipperton to Atlanta USA)

PSKmail ???
● PSKmail is a ARQ communication system optimized for HF frequencies, used when internet access is not within range.
● It offers a flexible long-haul gateway to all usual internet based functions
● PSKmail uses a protocol developed by K9PS for use on HF, and adds modern DTN techniques for document transfer between servers and clients when the Internet is out.

PSKmail speeds incl. compression
● Max. measured speed using 500 Hz bandwidth: 2900 chars/min using PSK500 mode on a clear channel (demo video @ youtube)
● Max. Theoretical speed for 2 kHz bandwidth:
6000 chars/min e.g. using 5 x PSK250R mode
● We use only 500 Hz bandwidth at the moment for ´good citizenship´ on ham bands

● Ideas from experience with hurricane Sandy:– Message forwarding between servers
– Add Web server and Wifi access point to the client to enable users in Red Cross hubs with a working smart phone to:
● Write their own mails● Send their own tweets● Read twitter messages with certain hashtags
… of course only during emergencies...

PSKmail Philosophy
PSKmail offers a flexible software toolkit with all the functionality you need.
PSKmail is OPEN SOURCE, and it does not lock you into an external organization like Micro$oft. If you don´t like it
you can change it and add your own functions.
PSKmail does NOT force you into a fixed communications concept, YOU DECIDE.
