Interesting because I've been asked by quite a few people to add Hell to
DM780 - which I have done, so expect some Hell activity this year.
In general I agree that we possibly have far too many modes, for the
beginner it's no easy to know what's what. At least PSK / RTTY is a good
starting
I'm a begginer, licenced this year.
I do not think that we have too many mode.
And the massive usage of psk31 is not a beginer problem.
It's the opposite.
We have too many old ham that just want a contact and a QSL.
And they use the most commonly used mode, psk31.
I have absolutly no interest in

Hi Andy,
Sorry about your pinched nerve, but all the (exotic) modes are great.
Perhaps there is a natural selection of well known modes as a common
starting point. Perhaps over time modes that are extremely robust under
different conditions
I've used both MixW and MultiPSK but still takes

It can take MANY hours to get a single reply in MFSK16 while there is
a lot of psk31 around.
Jose, after I wrote the first Chip 64 help file and published it,
there was a few weeks of activity but it has been dead for the past
couple of years. Olivia is perhaps my favourite but hard to find
anyone, and when you do it is the guy you talked to the last time you
heard a Olivia signal.
I have been concerned for some time about the lack of interest in the
new modes, even though some of us try and promote them. Very few hams
have any interest in digital modes to begin with. About half the hams
here in the U.S. can not operate below 10 meters since you need at least
a General
I had thought that CHIP64 was basically an experimental mode with little
practical value until it was pointed out to me that at least one Digital
Net uses it in Virginia. I have monitored their transmissions a few
times, even though it is on a NVIS frequency and I am at a quite distant
Well, I see it is not Olivia's fault, but people's conservadurism not
trying the newer modes. As it has been said before, most people on PSK31
uses ONLY PSK31, and very few of the most restless attempts other modes.
I believe that there is another ongoing revolution on beaconing with WSPR.
Rick,
My interests are similar to yours, ie, effective emergency comms, and just
trying out all the different modes.
I have two main issues: 1. Being brand new to digital modes, I find it rather
difficult to tell what mode I'm seeing on the waterfall. I recognize PSK,
RTTY, MFSK16 (now),
Hi Jeff,
I can tell some of the modes on the waterfall, but then again many are
not really discernable. By combining the sound of the mode with the
appearance on the waterfall, you can get better at it. Bandwidth is one
factor, the relative number of tones, certain spacing, etc., all help to
Maybe it is because I am getting irritated because of the pinched
nerve in my neck, I'm thinking maybe I have just had enough of the
plethora of digital modes. Yes, it is K3UK saying that...the bloke
that is always trying varying modes.
I tried calling CQ numerous times in the TARA Skirming
Time to put MFSK16,Hell, standard ALE, Olivia , Contestia, RTTYM,
DominoEX , etc, in to the virtual junk-box. They can join their
counsins from the non-virtual world...Betamax ,8 track tapes, and
cassettes. All good applications, but no one uses 'em anymore.
