Subject: Introducing Myself and a Question Regarding PSK31

Hi,

My name is Kelly Sapergia, and I'm from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada (my
callsign is VE5KJS). I've been an amateur radio operator since 1997, and am
getting back into the hobby after a few years of being off the HF band
because I didn't have an antenna at my current QTH until last month. I use a
Kenwood TS-570D for HF, and a Radio Shack HTX-202 for 2-meters. At the
moment, I'm having fun brushing up on my morse code using programs like
Morse Runner, NuMorse and others, and trying to call CQ on HF.

Now, onto my question. I've been hearing about various digital modes for
amateur radio, such as PSK31. I believe W1AW transmits bulletins with this
mode (I know you can hear something on their EchoLink node, but it sounds
very high-pitched), and was wondering if there's any software that a blind
operator can use to decode these messages?

Thanks.

Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia, VE5KJS
