Last winter there was a conflict between the voluntary 160 meter digital
mode sub band and W1AW's code practice. I asked them to move their frequency
and they did.
Personally I think that the ARRL continued Morse code practice broadcasts
are no longer necessary. If they stopped they would save
Why is the code practice sessons even needed now ? In 1955 very few

I was about to reply to the question of why the choice of frequency for
PSK31. I could not at the moment, but I see noone has addressed this point.
It happens that 3.579545 MHz (NTSC color burst) were aboundant and
rather cheap in the age of analog TV.
So, they have been used in some designs I

They deserve it, IMHO. It turns out that W1AW has been looking for
alternative 80m cw frequencies for a while now. We just did not
know about it.
I do question why this frequency was used as the primary PSK31

That sounds like a very reasonable request. Well written and good job!

I have found it frustrating when I am on that freq and THEN they start up.
I wish they would simply QSY when the freq appears busy.
