PSK HELL
    Traduction anglaise.

    PSK HELL is a Hellschreiber mode. The Hellschreiber modes FELD HELL, PSK HELL, FM HELL et HELL 80 are graphical modes where characters are drawn and the interpretation done by the user. For FELD HELL, the transmission is done by On-Off keying (OOK) as in CW, by BPSK for PSK HELL and by AFSK in HELL 80 and FM HELL (MSK in fact).

    This mode is included into the software MULTIPSK by Patrick F6CTE, there is the description of this mode and its variants as well as the specifications coming from his software :
