I am confused. What is a "narrow museum mode?" PSK31? MT63? Olivia? i.e. modes used by actual hams in actual QSOs? I have thought all of these modes are a pretty dynamic part of our amateur radio hobby. PSK31 was invented by a ham, and its use has been one of ham radio's success stories. Same for Olivia and other modes. What is a "modern progressive mode?" Pactor being used by an RVer using amateur radio as a cheap way to get internet access? Is it "progressive" because it is not really amateur radio, or is it "progressive" because it does not listen before transmitting, as has been traditional (and I guess "non-progressive") for all other components of amateur radio throughout its long and storied history? I do not understand the labels here. Sorry, I am confused by these labels. If not listening before transmitting is "progressive" and if filling our bands with RV internet traffic is "modern" count me in with the non-modern non-progressives. de Roger W6VZV
