I did not know there was even an effort to replace RTTY. And that brings me to this question. Why replace something like RTTY that has worked so well for so long of time? At 11:01 AM 2/20/06, you wrote: RTTY remains the digital-mode-of-choice for DXing, despite efforts to replace it with PSK31

PSK63 is significantly faster than RTTY, and consumes less bandwidth. The PSKCORE engine can simultaneously decode all PSK63 signals within a 3 khz band segment; coupled with callsign extraction logic, this makes for a powerful DXing and contesting tool. Why replace something like RTTY that

Thanks Dave, But then again PKS of any type it not RTTY. And when it comes to RTTY I'am a purist. Use a TTY machine. At 12:32 PM 2/20/06, you wrote: PSK63 is significantly faster than RTTY, and consumes less bandwidth. The PSKCORE engine can simultaneously decode all PSK63 signals within a 3

Hi Rick, So far, it looks like the Olivia 500 Centre-of-Activity freqs at 14076-14079 have good support, and not much opposition. If it continues well for Olivia, I will put up a web page on HFLINK's international bandplan website with other band charts of existing modes and trends for

The problem is not with PSK, the problem is with OLIVIA, whose users have incorrectly determined that because their stations use a 1000 Hz signal, that they must squat in the auto-forward Part 97.221 sub- bands. In these sub-bands, the normal listen before you transmit criteria is a bit

We should do what hams have always done -- police ourselves. If you are QRM'd during a contest and you can't engage the offender on the air, look up his or her callsign in QRZ.com, and contact the offender. If that doesn't produce a sheepish agreement to do better next time, contact the ARRL

No one owns a frequency, Steve. The sub-bands defined in 97.221 are not defined for exclusive use by semi-automatic and automatic stations. You use of the verb squat is both legally incorrect and in complete opposition to the spirit of amateur radio. The real issue here is lack of a band plan.
