PSK31
PSK31 has always interested me as a digital mode. Taking up only ~31Hz of audio bandwidth, and a usual SSB signal transmitting ~2.5kHz, you can fit quite a few QSOs in the one passband. This lends itself perfectly to having a single PSK31 call frequency per band, where many people can all co-exist without stepping on each others toes. Today we were finally able to decode PSK31 on 20 metres, at 14070kHz. We heard a signal from the Marshall Islands, as well as W7PTT from Lynnwood, Washington. The fading and noise were pretty horrible. More often than not, the signal could be seen on the waterfall, but all that is heard from the speaker is nasty static noise.
I really look forward to getting a Ic-706 or so, so I can join in.
