Dear Bonnie, at all , proposed by - We ???!!!! at least I am not in this WE group !!!! Please count me out - Vilnis Vosekalns , YL2KF . Using Olivia and all other modes too and do not see a reason to give such a drastic suggeastion to move down from 14.100 Khz with Olivia. This can start unnecessary frequency war with RTTY and MFSK16 and so on. Do not know how to determine popular and unpopular mode but with full resposibility can say - Olivia is not popular mode. Segment 14.080 - 14.090 is mainly used for RTTY for years and still is popular mode. So, this segment is not proper place for experimental modes at all, as Olivia with all variations in bandwith is.
With respect and love to all digital modes - YL2KF expeditionradio wrote: >I propose that we, as a group of Olivia operators, establish a >center-of-activity window for 500Hz Olivia operation, >between a USB dial frequency of 14076 and 14086kHz. > >To start, we could try 14076 to 14080. > > !!! >This is supported by national/international/IARU regional bandplans. > >The IARU Region 1 bandplan shows 500Hz bandwidth, non-automatic, >at 14070kHz to 14089kHz.
