Another fellow about 125 miles away experimented with me on 75 meters during a summer evening in conditions we would not have wanted to operate in otherwise. We were surprised to find that fading was more of a problem. Dick, n0ce On 3/28/2017 10:57 AM, Brian Pietrzyk wrote: > I second this!

I'd wait until David VK5DGR gets the FreeDV bit rate lower which will improve the Eb/n0 requirements and bring the performance closer to that of SSB. If you're not already following along on David's blog it's worth a read (http://www.rowetel.com/) his writing style is easy going and he explains
