Just as a point of interest there is some VHF weak signal activity during field day in the Pacific North West. While I have never tried to run meteor scatter during field day it wouldn't surprise me if some one tried this at some point.
Also in Canada I can't see any legal reason why I couldn't run MSK144 on most of the HF bands (with the exception of 30M and possibly 60M ?) if I could find some one to run with. 73 Mark Spencer VE7AFZ netsyn...@gmail.com > On Oct 18, 2018, at 5:40 PM, K5GZR - Rick <k5...@comcast.net> wrote: > > Joe, > Thanks for the quick response. > I did leave out one fact, which is: In MSK144 mode, selection of ARRL Field > Day or ARRL RTTY Roundup causes the message texts to change to the formats > appropriate to those contests.
