All, Had a short QSO with Russ, NC5O on both MT63 and Contestia 8/1k. Russ mentioned that he was using MultiPSK so there is a program other than MixW that has this mode; thank you Patrick.
The 8 tone / 1K Contesita mode is very fast; about 12 characters per second. It should come with a disclaimer regarding the possibility of ones fingers catching fire while typing ; ) Tony -K2MO ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony" <d...@optonline.net> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 3:48 PM Subject: [digitalradio] QRV MT63 / Contestia 1k 14109.5 > All, > > I'll be QRV on MT63 1k mode this afternoon and evening (March 18 / 19).
