With regard to the question about should the JT65A talk be shifted to it's own dedicated group, Danny is correct, he pointed out that I formed this group years ago when the custom was to have a group for each mode. I wanted to discuss them all, not go to an individual group for each mode.
One issue , with the less used digital modes, is the fact that after a while you are working the same people over and over again. This is true for ALE, Olivia, DominoEX, Feld Hell, PAX2, and more. PSK31, RTTY, and MFSK16 are the only ones that seem to have wide enough use to produce variety . Even RTTY in contests tends to be the same 200-300 hams. JT65A has a new crop of call signs that are not commonly seen on the other experimental digital modes but time will tell, whether this mode will become popular enough to ensure some freshness of contacts.

Those are mature modes, and people who doesn't want to wouldn't be forced to bother about innovation. </tongue_in_cheek> Jose, CO2JA jhaynesatalumni wrote: > Or is the message volume going to die down after everybody here has > worked everybody on all bands? __________________________________________ V Conferencia Internacional de Energía Renovable, Ahorro de Energía y Educación Energética. 22 al 25 de mayo de 2007 Palacio de las Convenciones, Ciudad de la Habana, Cuba http://www.cujae.edu.cu/eventos/cier Participe en Universidad 2008. 11 al 15 de febrero del 2008.
