Hello friends,
Propagation last weekend was difficult on Saturday, especially within North America. Fortunately, it improved by Sunday.
If you are new to the program, note that Fldigi
automatically saves decoded images as png files in the folder
\fldigi.files\images\ probably within your C:\Users hierarchy. Operating
systems other than Windows may have different folder
names. When sending reception reports, please attach those png files.
