Hi Bonnie, some comments from my experience.
I have tried your proposed frequencies for Olivia and they are ok, more or less, but: 10142.5 will have the DK0WCY beacon directly fall into the Olivia signal, therefore I prefer the 10141.5 which is given in your plan as well but not as a center of activity. I suggest to review this situation. 7042.5 is not very well accepted as Olivia center of activity. A much better choice is to go to 7035.5 or 7036.5 just above the PSK activities (see another reply from you as well). Don't forget the 3581 khz USB (+1500 hz), also just above the PSK activities on 80 m. I was very lucky last week to have a qso with VE1CDD on that frequency in Olivia 16/500 (around 0030 UTC or so, don't remember exactly) with only 10 W into a 32 m longwire. 73 Juergen, DL8LE --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "expeditionradio" <expeditionra...@...> wrote: > > Hi George, > > http://hflink.com/olivia > The most common flavor of Olivia is "500/16" > and for DXing, you can find it on one of the > following USB VFO Dial frequencies: > 7042.5 USB > 7072.5 USB > 10142.5 USB > 14075.65 USB > 14074.65 USB > 14077.65 USB > 18102.65 USB > > When Olivia first began, the 1000/32 flavor > was much more common, and it is still fairly > active in europe and some other parts of the world > on these USB VFO Dial Frequencies: > 14105.5 kHz USB > 14106.5 kHz USB > > For more complete information on Olivia Frequencies > and modes please see the website: > > http://hflink.com/olivia > > 73 Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA > > > AC5JV,GEORGE wrote: > > MY QUESTION IS WHAT MODE IS USED THE MOST ? > > LIKE 16/500 ?
