>Modes over last 2 hours Some may say this is nit picking but to me it is important:
MOST of those so called modes listed are NOT different modes of transmission, they are digital protocols. A mode of transmission is a method for altering a RF carrier so it conveys information. CW is a mode. So is AM. Spark is not a mode; it is an altogether different way of generating RF. FSK is a mode. With most computer generated digital data transmissions, the method is the same; only the digital protocol changes. Therefore, they are not separate discrete modes. Let's not aggrandize computer generated transmission--a lot of digital stuff is one mode, but many different formats or protocols. 73 Rob K5UJ _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
