I always assumed that it had a lot to do with the amount of activity vs. finding someone. CW or other operators wanting to make a specific contact on a band or location, such as for an award, need some way to find a similar operator. There is a smaller subset of digital hams and those digital

Dave's help was just what I needed, my thanks to others who responded. As it happened I had disassembled the unit to take pictures of both the bottom and top of the circuit board to help me try to regenerate a schematic, so I was ready to send a picture immediately upon reading Dave's reply. 73,

I think that the PSK part of 20M is so crowded these days that people spread out. They also do not want to be on 14070.15 and be too far out on the extremes of their rig's passband since it impacts the efficiency of the signal Andy K3UK On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 9:06 PM, ve3wej ve3...@gmail.com

It's still a fun mode to use. I've wondered perhaps if someone couldn't invent a 21st century Morse, perhaps using ternary psk, the 3rd phase being the gap in the chars? It might even be possible to still send it by hand with an interface but you'd obviously need a computer for decoding. 73
