I'm operating Olivia mode on 30 meters at the moment (0308GMT) ... If anyone cares to make a QSO, I'd like to run Olivia for a while .. Am using 500 Hz bandwidth / 8 tones .. Channel center = 10140.5 KHz Elaine -- Patricia (Elaine) Gibbons / WA6UBE

I just had a nice QSO with Bo W8ISG today. We first linked on standard ALE but the propagation was rapidly decaying. Before we lost contact on ALE, I sent a simple ALE AMD text message GO TO OLIVIA. We changed to Olivia 1000/32 and made good contact, but eventually, that dropped to about 75%

I like to use the narrowest possible bandwidth mode possible, but sometimes conditions are so bad, and there are unlikely to be many other stations that going to a wide bandwidth 1000 or even 2000 Hz mode I think it can be justified. So far, the consensus seems to be that Olivia will beat all

1000/32 would blow all the QRN away, methinks John VE5MU Hi John, Yes, I agree, Olivia 1000/32 is excellent, it decodes at -13dB SNR. Olivia 500/16 is about 1dB better than 1000/32. Olivia 250/8 is about 2dB better than 1000/32. Here is a chart (courtesy of Patrick F6CTE)

Okay, I have downloaded and installed MultiPSK and am ready to try this new mode out. What are the best frequencies and times to listen for Olivia signals? Also, I understand there are variations in the mode - what do I operate and where?

After several years, the main digital mode still appears to be PSK31, especially on the higher bands. When a new mode comes out, some of us will test it and if it doesn't have some superior feature, may not use it that much. A good example is MT-63 which seemed fairly popular when it first

Is there any reason we couldn't have images with Olivia? As far as I can tell, MFSK images are just plain old SSTV images with a header specifying size sent in MFSK data. The offset needs to be set for the different Olivia widths, but that is about it. Am I confused? Leigh/WA5ZNU On Sat, 24

Hi Jerry, Olivia 500/8 is not used as much for CQ as Olivia 500/16 and Olivia 1000/32 are. When using Olivia it helps to be exactly on one of the calling or working frequencies, otherwise your signal may blend into the background. For more info Check the website: http://hflink.com/olivia 73

I think we need to get away from the idea that different modes can not coexist (within reason). Consider that many are promoting a change by the FCC to base the occupancy by bandwidth, rather than mode. At the very least, you would expect the digital ops to be able to do this. Typically, I
