Yes I agree that we are seeing a kind of
free for all in the digital sub bands right now with all the new modes and
submodes contained within. At times I can't tell if a weak signal is 500/16 or
500/8 on Olivia and at times I miss a QSO while wasting time trying to decode at
the proper bandwidth and number of tones.
I answer allot of CQ's with someone running
Olivia 1000/32 but the 1000/32 is to slow for me and takes up to much space on
the waterfall when we have multiple QSO's ongoing. I ALWAYS call CQ on Olivia in 500/8 because I find that sub
mode to be best for speed versus robustness during QRN and
QSB.
I haven't called CQ on Contestia or RTTYM
yet because I don't know what the standardized bandwidth versus tones is yet. I
think I saw someone post that he's using 500/16 on Contestia. In my MixW
v2.16b8 Contestia and RTTYM are defaulted at 250/8.
We pretty much have the Olivia sub bands
decided but where do we operate Contestia and RTTYM? Same frequencies as Olivia?

I am trying to copy a station on 14.107 at this moment and I cant identify what type of signal it is..width seem obvious, but how many tones ? and which mode ? in order for communication to be effective and helpfull it must be standardized so that anyone who tunes across it knows right away what it is. The current "hodge poge" just leads to confusion, think about it ! 73 & Merry Christmas,
