After an extended absence, PACTOR NEWS is back.
Due to high financial costs, our written publication has folded.
However, our support for PACTOR as an HF digital mode has never been higher.

As I get back into gear, this site will serve as an information clearinghouse
about PACTOR. More is on the way, so please keep checking back as we work
to expand this web site and increase its content.

Meanwhile, PACTOR has always been the leader in HF digital technology, so
I look forward updating this site as soon as possible.

INTRODUCTION to PACTOR

The defacto standard digital ARQ (linked) mode on High Frequency ( 3 to 30 MegaHertz ) Amateur Radio is called PACTOR. It transfers text, files, and graphics quickly and without error. It was invented in Germany and is quite popular among hams who communicate by radio with computers. PACTOR NEWS is an online source dedicated specifically to PACTOR. We also cover RTTY, CONTESTING, and other Digital modes, too.
