I'm a begginer, licenced this year. I do not think that we have too many mode. And the massive usage of psk31 is not a "beginer" problem. It's the opposite. We have too many old ham that just want a contact and a QSL. And they use the most commonly used mode, psk31.
I have absolutly no interest in contact and QSL. Well, no interest, but i need a contact to test the mode, talk about it, improve the transmission if needed. And not just sharing macro-QSO. The only times i was able to really test, experiment, "on air" was with exotic mode. Anytime i tried to "chat" (technical) in psk31 i got the usual "k thx bye" macro. But never had this problem using Feld Hell. The problem is between chair and keyboard, nothing else. -- F4FQM 2008/4/21, Simon Brown (Laptop) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Interesting because I've been asked by quite a few people to add Hell to > DM780 - which I have done, so expect some Hell activity this year. > > In general I agree that we possibly have far too many modes, for the > beginner it's no easy to know what's what.
