Bruce, Who did you say SMIRK was again? Just kidding!
Yes, we are using an established 6M calling frequency for a TEST. Don't you do that sometimes too? Besides, it's the only portion of the band that is classified as "ALL MODE". Nobody uses Ancient Modulation (AM) anymore anyway, right? (HI) CW identification is not required. We identify "in mode" using exactly as in the case of SSTV, RTTY, PSK, MT-63, and all other digital modes. In our specific case, we use an open source form of OFDM encoding for both the voice and video transmission of our callsigns. Hope that answers your questions.
