NOTES ABOUT ACCESS TO MY PERSEUS SERVER - JULY 2012

I will have my Perseus server on line more regularly from this summer, as I have the spare box mounted next to the web PC. It will not be on line 24/7, but at times that suit me!! Remember a few things though....

1: Normally it will be connected to a 500m MW beverage and preamp, so don't expect great results on SW. If I see SW frequencies being used, I may change to a top band dipole or something, but only if I am around to see what is being listened to.

2: The beverage / preamp combination works better here with 10db att on. I tend to keep it on all the time. It is just enough to stop slight overload on some frequencies.

3: Please use only 125khz sampling. The web pc is only a single core PC. I may be using the web as the server is being used, and draining resources, and hence, possible stuttering may occur.

4: I am not interested in allowing access to anyone that has their own Perseus server passworded. If I am around and see any of them using it, I will cut them off. There was one on the Isle of Wight in July 2012 that was passworded for example.

5: Anon users may also find themselves being cut off. If I take the time to make my receiver live, the least that users can do surely is give their name and QTH, for no other reason that curiosity.

As a final observation, I had someone sitting on a completely empty 49mb channel for an hour or so recently. What were they up to?? What was the point?? Had they collapsed and died in front of the PC, while tuned to my server?? This seemed odd to me. I was sitting with another receiver waiting for something to start testing, but no, nothing..

It is such a pity there is no chat box incorporated, like that in dx tuners is it, the receiver sharing network??
