WINROM on waterfall display	Reply
by N5PT on May 7, 2009	Mail this to a friend!
I was working a station on - I believe - 20 meters last night, PSK31, and while enjoying this fairly nearby contact, heard a screech of multifreq tones lasting about 4-5 seconds. It was unlike anything I'd heard on the ham bands before ... and I've worked a lot of modes! I thought maybe this was a new mode, but when looking at the waterfall (spectrum)display saw the actual characters "WINROM" in a Times Roman typefont (guessing, but close) spread out across at least 2.5 kHz of the display! The display unfortunately scrolled off the screen before I could run down to get my camera. I was amazed that someone actually did this! I had the filters opened up to about 3.5 kHz on my Elecraft K3. The K3 was in Data mode for operating PSK31 and running Digipan v2 software on my XP (old) Dell laptop. Has anyone else seen this, and what are we seeing here in your opinion? Surely a signal that wide bandwidth couldn't be legal in the cw/data part of the band???

Are you sure it was not "WINMOR" ? It is in alpha/beta mode...and yes it would be wide. If you saw it on the waterfall it was transmitted by CMT HELL...not sure Winmor has that capability....interesting though. 73, Bill N9DSJ

Leave it to characterless WinLids to come up with new, exciting ( to them ) ways to crash other hams QSO's, to no particular purpose. 73 DE Charles, N5PVL
