All, I'd like to propose a couple of ideas to the group to encourage the use of those digital modes that tend to sit idle much of the time. Seems to be a lot of unanswered CQ's these days so a little enthusiasm may go a long way.
I was thinking along the lines of something simple to remember like the mode-of-the-day; an MFSK Monday or Olivia Tuesday for example. Both are excellent chat modes that see little use. The ability to send images with MFSK16 certainly makes it unique. A QRP day might encourage those with power / antenna restrictions to experiment with different modes modes to improve their success. The idea of a digital mode QRP calling frequency would help; certainly works wonders with CW QRP. Any thoughts? Tony -K2MO
