Hi Andy, Yes, USA ops can continue to use ~7070kHz for PSK31 and other digi keyboarding within Lower 48 States, but it is unlikely they will work much DX there, because ~7070 the prime part of the band for QRO SSB in the rest of the world. The DX simply cannot hear the USA signals there, and they don't want to work digi keyboarding there due to their bandplans... On the other hand, USA hams running low power will find it is very easy to work digi keyboarding DX to Asia around 7025-7028kHz and DX to Europe and other areas around 7030-7040+ kHz. Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA
