Absolutely! From what I see from my QTH in SW MO, 1845 would be a good place for JT65 to move to. There is a ragchew group that meets on 1850, but seldom is there much activity below that.
I seldom listen much above 1900. Maybe you're right, that would be a better place. But they definitely need to move up, as there's often DX just below them and we are just not going to get everyone to transmit a clean digital signal. By the way, Mike, it's easy to trim the large amount of text off the end of your messages with Shift-Ctrl-End and then Delete. :-) I've noticed others here forgetting to do that lately, too. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Tue, Dec 31, 2013 at 4:10 PM, Mike Greenway <[email protected]> wrote: > I don’t am still puzzled why the digital modes decided to use the 1837 to > 1839 area with the size of the 160 M band.

Some of their signals are bone crushing and wide. 73 Mike K4PI > _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
