Steve, I never understood 300 baud ASCII when government and DoD research after WWII, during the Korean War and after the Korean war clearly showed that 110 baud ASCII was about the best you could expect from the mode.
I have used 110 baud ASCII as well as 110 baud AX.25 on HF for military applications and found it work quite well 90% of the time. Dropping down to 55 baud allowed for deteriorating band conditions but really the practical throughput wasn't worth the effort...we just waited for the band to improve.

Hi Danny, Do they still send in ASCII? What a waste, I remember back when the FCC first allowed it on HF, oh my, try to use 300 baud ! They should start using MT-63 as all PC Sound Device Modem based Amateurs would then be able to get solid FEC copy and drop ASCII, for that matter, on technical grounds, RTTY could be dropped as well, but there are still those within the ARS that only use RTTY for digital data mode acty. /s/ Steve, N2CKH At 08:16 AM 12/14/2006, you wrote: >Hi Danny, > >I was just being facetious to make my point. > >I too used to listen to W1AW. > >But in CW, RTTY, AMTOR, ASCII and VOICE ? > >73 > >Bill KA8VIT >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://ka8vit.com Connect to telnet://cluster.dynalias.org a single node spotting/alert system dedicated to digital and CW QSOs.
