Yes it would be nice to add some more information (speed and shift in RTTY, for example, as you can do standard RTTY but also RTTY with 23 Hz of shift (even if RTTY MSK is not very used...), or as you propose number of tones and bandwidth in Olivia or Contestia, or type of SSTV standard...).
Is there some rule about this new field? I will see directly with you for more details. 73 Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Bernstein To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 4:58 AM Subject: [digitalradio] Re: Comments on the JT65A and Olivia contests 15 QSOs in about 2 hours of operating, just under half with European stations, all on 20m. There was an MFSK-16 station QRV that threatened my sanity; it wasn't the QRM, it was listening to 2 hours of that moronic "music" that made me feel like Red Buttons in "the Longest Day". MFSK-16 definitely deserves its own band segment, preferably with padded soundproof walls. Too bad Pactor III doesn't sound like that; Winlink would have had their own private band segment years ago. Patrick, the newest version of DXKeeper provides a sub-mode field; it'd be nice if MultiPSK would log things like the Olivia tone constellation there: APP_DXKEEPER_SUBMODE. Perhaps Simon and I can convince the ADIF development community to make this a standard field. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Andrew O'Brien" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Of the 15 or so logs received so far, the comments appear to be. > > The bands (40 and 20M) were in very poor conditions > > Both Olivia and JT65A contests were considered "tough".
