I think it is a matter of signal cleanlinessuse the lowest power that allows the communication, with a clean signal. In PSK, as well as in SSB voice, and many digital modes with an envelope (I am not referring to constant envelope modes as RTTY) a clean signal is a must to conserve

Paul, I completly agree with you on keeping PSK31 a low power mode. Have had near 2000 contacts on PSK231 over four years running 15 to 20 watts output. Here is a quote from an article by Steve Ford WB8IMY who writes for QST and mostly about Digital modes. The Future I don't think it is a

Hi Gang! Maybe someone could set up an online Waterfall Gallery with screen shots of the most offensive splattering sigs posted (complete with callsigns) for all to see. It'd be neat to use some thing like KPSK with its multi-channel copy to show the same conversation going on in 4 or 5

I don't mean to display my ignorance too much anyway. But I'd like to ask a question or more. Being a QRPer, I enjoy running low power. That was one of the attractions of PSK. But I don't try to impress my way of operating on others. Is there a technical reason for maintaining low

Kevin, I thought PSK31 is supposed to be a QRP mode, so therefore Tradition. But who operates true QRP 5 watts? I guess that is what most think the power level should be for QRP? Have made contacts with stations using 5 watts or less, and the copy was very good. The band conditions have been

What does this have to do with your small mountain town...this is weird. I run 50w all the time on digimodes except when I want to do some QRP contesting. The small mountain town and the developers that you all let in still doesnt make much sense to me. IE: what is the relationship between
