Well, I've been doing digital since 1967. What I said, above, is absolutely true. The 070 frequencies have always been keyboard to keyboard frequencies, and the automatic modes are recent interlopers there. If they had stayed above 14.100 or 7.100 we would not have all of the Pactor QRM against ordinary hams having 2 way QSOs that today we do, in fact, have. Your attempt to revise history is unsuccessful. de Roger W6VZV
