Hi Mooneer: I find the activity days to be very helpful. I am working on my own implementation of the CODECs and modems. This work is made much easier (and more satisfying) when you have real activity impacted by real noise to test receivers/decoders. Having a time/place where there is a higher probability of hearing a transmission is nice.
This analogy isn’t perfect, but something to consider. In the US we have the daily W1AW bulletins in a variety of modes (CW, RTTY, PSK31, MFSK16, etc.) on a lot of bands. This is a great resource for people learning/testing the modes that are supported. I’m not trying to be negative about these modes, but they aren’t exactly the leading edge of the radio hobby. It would be very cool if there were similar scheduled bulletins using a wider range of modern modulations/encodings for people who are developing systems. Other similarly useful resources: WWV for testing AM receivers on HF, *ECHOTEST* on the EchoLink system and PARROT on the DMR system.
