The guy who invented this earliest of modes just died not to long ago. Like 2002 I think. He was nearly 100 years old. It’s such a unique mode. Whenever I go digital, I usually send out several “cq’s” in Feld hell mode. Thanks for putting it out there Eric! De n5vwn
Thanks for digidal modes videos. You got me to try again. Did psk. Sucesss. Tgen tried rtty. 'Yea'!!! Actually worked the rtty contest the other weekend. 80 contacts.
Good video as always. Feldhell one of my favorite when I did digital. Like where you showed what freq's are usually the best place to find contacts. Oh it reminds me of RTTY with the ticker tape style of printing on the screen. Hopefully I will have the IC7300 back online when you start the net.
Great video. I've tried Hell once and seen the noise come across and didn't try it again. Done the same with Thor. I'll have to give these modes another try.
Not used Feldhell for a few years. It is a fun mode to use and vastly different that most of the MGM types of signal we normally use. It is used round Europe a bit but mostly it is quiet as they are now going Olivia and also Contestia modes. But Feldhell is still keeping up as a niche mode now, similar to SITOR and Fax itself.
One more thing, you compared feld hell to cw and that is a very good comparison due to the binary nature of the signal itself. The K3NG keyer project even includes a feld hell mode…from a CW keyer!
This is the _best_ way to raise Hell. BTW, Hellschreiber is the mode used to print text right on your spectrum waterfall. That flavour of Hellschreiber is known as "concurrent multi-tone Hellschreiber". 73 VE7NDE
I could be wrong but my understanding is that machines like that old one shown had nothing to do with radio at all. I believe that it was like an original 2 way fax in that journalists used audio over a phone line to send reports. I find this mode fascinating and so lends itself to radio.
I am trying to get our club, North Richland hills, Texas in to other modes besides FT8. Your video has spurred me on to talk to the club about it… Tom - AB5ZJ
Your influence must be working. There was hardly no one on ft8 yesterday, Thanks for ruining ft8. There wasn't but a few on the new "bowl" (20 meter ft8)
Very funny... I have no way of influencing people to drop off FT8. The PSKreporter database shows millions of exchanges on FT8 yesterday and I just turned on the radio today and saw tens of thousands more on 20 meters... Better check your antenna and your coax

I am unable to respond back. But I love listening in. Please reveal the frequencies so I may follow along. It is very fascinating.
Outstanding video sir. Excellent and concise. Thank you.

Great video. I've been using Hell X5 for years with low power beacons and microcontrollers. Simple code and simple transmitters. Thanks

Very cool! Looks a lot like early facsimile.
BTW, I'm soon testing for Extra and thanks for the discount at Ham Radio Prep! Excellent resource.

I want to get into this!
Great video thanks
It appears there are multiple types of Hell (fast, slow, x5, x9, etc). Which modes are most popular of hell?
Feld Hell is most popular. There's a few nets and (mostly casual) contests. Also a few clubs.
Your favorite search engine will get you there.

That’s all I could hope for in my videos
@@HamRadioConcepts - would you be interested in doing a Zoom call as a presenter to one of monthly club meetings? Tom- AB5ZJ
Any of you guys want to schedule some contacts with a station in south central alaska?
With FT4 They could lengthen the cycle to include more character so that more things can be conveyed than just signal reports.
German ingenuity?
sign me up for a net K6BZ
