Re: [digitalradio] Contestia Digital Mode Freqs

Hi Thomas,

Long time no chat!! I hope all is well with you and yours. I've finally 
put up a couple of dipoles, 90% of the work done by my son-in-law. The 
only thing that remains is get the coax cables into the house. The way 
the house is layed out, it won't be trivial, but I am working on it. 
Once I get connected, let's try some of these exotic modes on 80, 40 or 
30M. I know that we tried 10M with no luck, but we should have better 
luck on the lower bands with ground waves. These antennas are real cloud 
burners, NVIS, so Brandon to Lakeland should be easy (I hope). Let me 
know what you think.

  Just above the PSK crowd, generally. I've seen them intermixed with
  Olivia and other multitone modes -- so much so that I had to switch from
  MIXW to DM780 just so I could decode the mode-ID sequence and see what
  was what.
