I am not just talking about the badly formatted packet bulletins, but also how we should really be reaching for a least common denominator in amateur radio data communications. There are many who have been enamored with the WL2K use of HTML forms and email attachments, but they do add a bit of bloated bandwidth and a sense that it is the internet email, but over the air. Shouldn't we be looking to streamline and minimize the amount of airtime so that more message may be passed? The FLmsg structure of the FLdigi suite of programs by W1HKJ looks to just transmit the data fields of a form an not the fluff. This is akin to XML, but in an easier human readable format with field tags showing pertinent field size, etc. There is a similar feeling about this on the Winlink mailing list this morning. I always have to cleanup a packet message that originated as a copy and paste from a website as it includes odd versions of characters and lines with messy formatting that are wrapped around and longer than 80 characters. This makes for a very tiring read as well as takes up more space and bandwidth than it really needs to. Some guidelines to use for any packet/digimode message or bulletins: - maximum 72 to 80 character line length before a CR/LF - convert webpage text as standard ASCII characters - provide links to attachments/pictures if needed - convert pictures as Base64 attachments (and indicate it in the text) - spreadsheets should be saved as CSV for easy ASCII-only transmission - word documents should be saved as TXT for easy ASCII-only transmission -- 73 de N2NOV n2nov@n2nov.ampr.org n2nov@n2nov.#rich.ny.usa.noam
