How about using PSK31 as the baseline and then transmit any other digital mode a kHz or so up from the highest PSK31 signal that is on at that time? That is pretty much what I do on 80, 40, and 20. I would very much like a spot frequency to operate on for 30 meters which seems grossly

Rick I think that you are pretty much looking at RTTY freqs, which usually are 2 or 3 KC above the PSK signals, and upward from there. This suggest calling freq for other digital modes, therefore should be a bit above or below the combination package of PSK/RTTY so as to get them out of each

The way I read this, it was not because they were on a band plan for CW, but that they were interfering with communications that was already in use. The band plan was just something that gave them the ability to gig them for one more thing. Danny Douglas N7DC ex WN5QMX ET2US WA5UKR ET3USA SV0WPP
