While the "digitalradio" sked page will continue, I am switching the primary recommendation for digital mode "spotting" to Hamspots ( http://www.hamspots.net/). Laurie VK3AMA has provided many innovations to this service in 2009 and plans to add even more in 2010. The Digitalradio tab on the K3UK Sked Page will remain but will likely continue its current role of being more a "chat" room for people trying to test digital modes. For alerting as to who is "QRV" and via what mode, Hamspots is better suited, especially now that there is some integration with PSKreporter. While the average PSK31 enthusiasts will almost always find someone to have a QSO with, the original Digitalradio sked page was set-up to help those wanting QSOs on other digital modes, and to avoid the wrath of DX Cluster sysops who wanted only "real DX".. Over the years things have become diluted as people use a variety of web sites to announce their presence. It is my opinion that the digital mode enthusiast will be better served with a common website where all can go, and reliably catch news of who is active, and on which band. The Hamspots and PSkrepoter partnership seems to be the best site. For those married to all three, my link to them all on one page is still available via http://www.obriensweb.com/skedpskr4.html
