I have to disagree with some of what has been said about how much power to run using JT65. JT65 is a LOW SIGNAL mode, NOT a LOW POWER mode. We run 1500 watts into 20+ dB gain antennas on 2 meters for EME. Signals coming back from the moon vary between –10 and –29 dB Why limit yourself on

I've used 100 watts on 160 - by accident, as I forgot to turn down the drive - I discovered that decoding can be a real problem at high power levels. I've seen signals from a station 30 miles (50 km) away that wouldn't decode because of spreading. I believe the main goal is to have little or

Thanks, Jim. Maybe I'll stick with WSPR, at least for awhile. Per the Sept. 10 thread about VK2KRR, there seems to be some 160m activity on that mode. I've enjoyed WSPR in the past, but the Linux version of the software I was using at the time would crash at odd intervals. Hopefully, downloading
