What the HELL?

Hellschreiber is an interesting ham radio mode developed back in the 20s. It is a bit strange and different, but fun. I'll explain what it is, then I make a couple contacts during the Hellschreiber contest.

See the Feld Hell Club page for information and monthly contests.

What software is that? It's nice that it uses dynamic macros.

The software is from IZ8BLY. You can find it from the software link in the show comments.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the youngest person into this type of thing. Not enough highschoolers like me who would want to learn about things like this.

This was texting in the 1920s

Sweet! Being out of the hobby for such a long time, I don't believe I've seen this.  Very cool.

Good. The Feld Hell club has monthly contests that brings out the activity.

It was you who suggested that trick with your PSK31 video so now I try it all the time when there's interesting sound to decode :-) I've joined the Feld Hell group and hope to make a QSO soon. 73, Sander W1SOP

Cool. I'm running fldigi at the same time as your video is playing, listening on the soundmapper. It's decoding quite a bit of the same Hell as on your screen, depending on how loud the signal is of course. Will give this is a try soon. 73, Sander W1SOP
