I had one contact with AA6YQ on Olivia 500/8. There were actually two MFSK16 Q's going on, next to each and in between some of the Olivia stations. At least one was a regular digitalradio poster:)
I find MFSK16 to be much more tolerable than Olivia which also gives me a queasy sort of feeling. Nothing will probably ever be like Clover II which has to be about the most pleasant sounding digital mode. Nothing like raucous Pactor which is one of the worst! But when you mentioned Red Buttons and being stressed from music, I immediately assumed this would have to be his performance in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?". Not a recommended movie for an uplifting time however. I like movies with reasonably happy endings. Maybe something like "The Game." 73, Rick, KV9U Dave Bernstein wrote: > 15 QSOs in about 2 hours of operating, just under half with European > stations, all on 20m.
