I would be more inclined to say that it is the lack of propagation on the higher bands that has stopped the use of MT63 for DX work Olivia managed to hang on for some time longer due to its better S/NR characteristics BUT if you dont have propagation you dont have QSOs in any mode I would like to

Ok, Bonnie, I will explain. You said "Respectfully, I'm just curious why you would want to run such an experiment directly on top of an existing ham radio 24/7 global Emcomm network at 14109 USB? ..." That tells me you don't want others to use the frequency. That is what makes me believe you

Bonnie, I ran both on 14,109 till I starting seeing the QRM from ALE. I really think that is the reason that you or anyone else sees no MT63 there. I first started with ALE about 2002 or 2003 and gave up on it. And still today I still see no regard by ALE stations for a freq that may be in use.

You and your cohorts may have the lofty ambition of forming a Ale Global network, but lets face it: 20 people making soundings all day is not making anything other than QRM . No more so are various groups that I have been involved with ,testing many new and old modes for their capacity to arry d

Respectfully, I question why a few operators would transmit an ALE sounding on top of a Q25 QSO without listening first. To call a few operators using ALE soundings on 14109.0 a "global Emcomm Network" is a bit of a stretch, We do share these frequencies 14109.0 is not busy to say the least

Hi Les, It is 2009. Digital evolution moves on. MT63 had a few good years of activity in the late 1990s. It was a significant step in the evolution of digital texting modes. But, alas, the popularity of MT63 on 14109 kHz USB subsided about 8 years ago. This coincided with the increasing popular

Bonnie One would also respectfully ask why the 24/7 Global Emcomm group would choose to run their system on a known MT63 frequency of long standing - I guess we all should keep in mind that no one group has any claim to ANY frequency and to expect QRM from others should be the norm Les VK2DSG exp
